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
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the
freezer control to the
OFF
position, and
clean the interior with a baking soda
solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to one quart (1 l) of water.
Leave the doors open.
Move the icemaker feeler arm to the
STOP
(up) 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.
Light Bulb Replacement
To replace a burned-out bulb, unplug
the refrigerator from its electrical outlet,
remove the light shield, unscrew the bulb
when cool and replace it with an appliance
bulb of the same or lower wattage.
Turning the control to the
OFF
position does not
remove power to the light circuit.
Preparing to Move
If the doors need to be removed, see the
Removing the doors
section.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves
and drawers by taping them securely in
place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
