1.Use up any perishables.

2.Freeze other items.

3.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker: l Raise signal arm to OFF (up) position.

l Shut off water supply to the ice maker.

Long vacations

If you will be gone a month or more:

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

l Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.

l When the last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker. Make sure all ice is dispensed out of the ice maker mechanism.

3.Unplug the refrigerator.

4.Clean it, wipe well, and dry.
