For long vacations or absences, remove food and
unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior with a
baking soda solution of 15 ml of baking soda to
1 liter of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the
O
position
and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have
a qualified servicer drain the water supply system
to prevent serious property damage due to
flooding.
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away
from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and
those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to
position by pushing it straight in. Moving the
refrigerator in a side direction may result in
damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you
don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line.
Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back of
the refrigerator against the hand truck. This
could damage the refrigerator. Handle only
from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position
during moving.
