Vacation and Moving Tips
Short
vacations:
Leave
the
refrigerator
operating
during
vacations
of
1
to
3
weeks.
Use
up
all
perishable
items
from
the
refrigerator
section.
Wrap
and
store
other
items
in
the
freezer.
If
the
unit
has
an
automatic
ice
maker,
turn
off
the
ice
maker.
Long
vacations:
Remove
all
food
and
ice
if
you
will
be
gone
1
month
or
more.
Turn
the
control
to
OFF
and
disconnect
the
power.
If
the
unit
has
an
automatic
ice
maker,
turn
off
the
ice
maker
and
turn
the
water
supply
valve
to
the
closed
position.
Defrost
and
clean
the
interior
thoroughly.
Leave
both
doors
open
to
prevent
odor
and
mold
buildup.
Block
open
if
necessary.
Moving:
When moving the refrigerator, follow these guidelines to prevent
damage:
• Remove all food and other items from refrigerator and freezer
compartments. Empty the ice storage bin. Defrost and clean the
interior
thoroughly.
• If
a
hand
truck
is
used
in
moving,
load
the
refrigerator
from
the
side.
• Turn
front
rollers
as
far
up
as
possible
(some
models).
This
will
protect
them
during
sliding
or
moving.
• The
cabinet
should
be
well
padded
and
handled
with
care.
DO
NOT
DROP.
