Care
Short vacations...
No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be
away for less than four weeks. Use up perishables:
freeze other items. If your refrigerator is equipped
with an automatic ice
maker:
1. Turn it off.
2. Shut off the water supply to the ice maker
3. Empty the ice bin.
Long vacations...
Remove all the food if you are going for a month
or more. If your refrigerator is equipped with an
automatic ice maker, turn off the water supply to
the ice maker at least a day ahead. When the last
load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker.
Unplug the refrigerator and clean it., rinse well
and dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the top of
both doors...keeping them open far enough for air
to get in. This will keep odor and mold from build­
ing up.
