Vacation Time
For extended vacations, shut off power to the unit. Empty
the unit and block the doors open slightly. A one-inch
space will let fresh air in to keep the interior dry and fresh.
Upon return, the water filter should be discarded and
replaced with a new filter before start up.
For short vacations, remove all perishable items. Shut off
the ice maker and empty the ice container. Do not change
the control settings.
If your religious observances require turning off the lights
and ice maker, refer to Sabbath mode on page 13.
Built-In Use & Care

Be sure to block doors open when the unit is not in
service to avoid the buildup of moisture, which could
attack metal interior surfaces.
Operations
DOOR AND DRAWER CLOSING
Over-and-under models:
Your refrigerator door has a door
closing cam to help in closing the door. With the door
opened to about 110°, the cam will hold in the open
position if the door is stopped. As you close the door, the
cam will take over at about 15° to help close the door.
Your freezer drawer has a self-closing mechanism. The
incline, built into roller assemblies on the drawer, uses
gravity to assist in closing the drawer.
If your built-in unit is positioned in a corner, you may want
to install an optional door stop, which limits door opening
to 0°. This door stop is provided with each built-in model
and is shipped in a plastic bag in the grille area.
All refrigerator, all freezer and side-by-side models:
Your
refrigerator and freezer doors have spring-loaded closure
mechanisms. As the doors are closed, the door closure
engages to help close and seal the doors. A 0° door stop
is provided with each unit and is shipped in a plastic bag
in the grille area.
