VACATION AND MOVING CARE
VACATION
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, and is connected
to the household water supply, turn off the water supply to the
refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the water supply is
not turned off.
3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker by
pressing the switch to OFF.
4. Empty the ice bin.
If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
•
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
•
When the last load of ice drops, press the switch to OFF.
3. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the Control(s).”
4. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
5. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
6. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow these
steps to prepare it for the move.

Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
•
Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.
•
When the last load of ice drops, press the switch to OFF.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in
dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Unplug refrigerator.
5. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
7. Raise the leveling legs so they don’t scrape the floor. See
“Leveling.”
8. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back
of the refrigerator. When you get to your new home, put
everything back and refer to the “Installation Instructions”
section for preparation instructions.
