CARING FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Vacation and moving care
Short vacations
No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will
be away for less than four weeks.
1. Use up any perishables.
2. Freeze other items.
Long vacations
If you will be gone a month or more:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Unplug the refrigerator.
3. Clean it, rinse well and dry.
4. 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.
AWARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Do not allow children to climb on, play
near or climb inside the refrigerator
when the doors are blocked open.
They may become injured or trapped.
Moving
When you are moving the refrigerator to a
new home:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Pack all frozen food in dry ice.
3. Unplug the refrigerator.
4. Clean it thoroughly. Rinse well and dry.
5. Take out all removable parts, wrap them
well, and tape them together so they don’t
shift and rattle.
6 Screw in the leveling rollers.
7. Tone the doors shut and tape the power
supply cord to the cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put
everything back and refer to page 5.
