Vacation and Moving Tips
Short vacations: Leave 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 refrigerator, follow these guidelines to prevent damage:
• Remove all food and other items from both refrigerator and freezer
compartments. Empty ice storage bin. Defrost and clean interior
thoroughly.
• If a hand truck is used in moving, load refrigerator from the side.
• Turn front rollers as far up as possible (some models). This will protect them
during sliding or moving.
• Cabinet should be well padded and handled with care. DO NOT DROP.
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a continuous supply
of ice for normal use. The automatic ice maker is an optional accessory that may be
installed in most models at any time. Call your local dealer for installation.
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must
be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as
possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position. Because of new
plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have
an odd flavor. Throw ice away until the cubes made are free of discoloration and
taste.
To stop ice maker, lift wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the "up" or OFF
position. The ice maker turns off automatically when ice container is full. If your
model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place shelf so wire signal arm will hit the ice
when ice container is full.
Ice Maker Tips
1. Ice stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the container, and be sure
wire signal arm is in its "down" or ON position. Ice maker will then produce more
ice.
2. Occasionally shake the container to keep ice separated.
3. Keep wire signal arm in its "up" or OFF position until refrigerator is connected to
the water supply, or whenever water supply is turned off.
4. Certain sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating. They are:
Motor operation
Ice being loosened from tray
Ice being dropped into container
Running water
Water valve opening and closing
For more information on these operations, see "Normal Operating Sounds."
5. Wash ice container in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse well and dry.
6. Stop ice maker when cleaning freezer, or for short vacations.
7. If ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn water supply valve
to the closed position.
Automatic Ice Maker
Remember that water quality determines your ice quality. It is best
to connect ice maker to water that is not softened. Chemicals from a softener that
is not working properly can damage the ice maker. If ice maker is connected to soft
water, ensure softener is maintained and working properly.
