immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning,

IMPORTANT

If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water
supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service.
Contact a service representative to perform this operation.

NOTE

If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components
will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
