Caution!

If your refrigerator has a dispenser and there is any possibility that the temperature can drop below freezing where the refrigerator is located, the water supply system (including the water tank and the water valve) must be drained by a qualified servicer.

For short vacations or absences (three months or less):

1Remove all perishables.

2If no one will be checking on the refrigerator during your absence, remove all frozen items also.

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

After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut off arm to the OFF position.

Empty the ice bin.

Where available activate Vacation Mode (see page 13).

3If the room temperature will drop below 55° F (13° C), follow the instructions for longer absences.

For long vacations, absences (more than three months) OR if the room temperature will

drop below 55° F (13° C):

1Remove all food from both compartments.

Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day before you leave.

After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut off arm to the OFF position.

Empty the ice bin.

2Remove the water filter cartridge and install the filter bypass. Dispose of the used cartridge.

3 Turn the Freezer control to OFF.

4 Unplug the refrigerator.

5 Thoroughly clean the interior of both compartments with a baking soda solution (four tablespoons of baking soda in 1 qt (1 L) of warm water) and a clean, soft cloth.

6 Dry thoroughly.

7 Leave the doors open to prevent the formation of mold and mildew.

Preparing to move

Follow the instructions for long vacations/absences, through to step 6.

Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

Tape the doors shut.

Use an appliance dolly when moving the refrigerator. ALWAYS truck the refrigerator from its side or back – NEVER from its front (see page 5).

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
