Vacation and moving care

Short Vacations.

few weeks. Use up the perishables; freeze other items..Turn off your ice maker; shut off the water supply; empty the ice t!n and make sure all ice cubes are dispensed out of the mechanism.

long Vacations.

Remove all the food if you are going for a month or more. At least a day ahead, turn off the water supply to the ice maker. 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 both doors...keeping them open far enough for air to get in. This will keep odor and mold from building up.

Tape the blocks out of a child’s reach...do not allow children

near the refrigerator when the doors are blocked open.

To restart refrigerator, see “Using Your Refrigerator.”

Moving.

Shut off the ice maker water supply a day ahead of time. Discon- nect the water line. After the last supply of ice drops, turn off the ice maker.

Remove all food. Pack frozen foods in dry ice. Unplug the refriger- ator and clean it thoroughly. Remove everything that comes out. Wrap all parts well and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle.

Include in the removal the watersupply tank behind the meat pan by:

1.Disconnecting water inlet and outlet tubes at the top of the tank.

2.Removing three mounting screws from the tank.

3.Draining the tank.

Re-install the empty tank, and remember to check for tight water connections when the refrigerator is hooked up at your new location.
