Vacation and moving care

Long vacations

Remove all the food if you are going for a month

or more. Turn off the water supply to the ice
maker at least one day ahead. When the last
load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker. Make
sure all ice crescents are dispensed out of the
mechanism.

Unplug the refrigerator. Clean it, rinse well and

dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of
both doors to prop them open far enough for air
to get in. This will keep odor and mold from
building up.

^WARNING

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.

To restart refrigerator, see “Using Your Refrigera­
tor” on page 7.

Short vacations

No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be

away for less than four weeks. Use up perish­
ables; freeze other items.

1. Turn off your ice maker by raising signal arm.

2. Shut off the water supply to the ice maker.
3. Empty the ice bin.

Moving

Shut off the ice maker water supply a day ahead
of time. Disconnect the water line. After the last
supply of ice drops, lift the signal arm to turn off
the ice maker.

Remove all food. Pack frozen food in dry ice.

Unplug the refrigerator and clean it thoroughly.

Take out all removable parts. Wrap all parts

well and tape them together so they don't shift
and rattle. Screw in the leveling legs; tape the
doors shut; and tape the electric cord to the
cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put every­

thing back and refer to page 5. Also, remember
to reconnect the water supply line.
