Preparing for Vacation

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the freezer control to the OFF position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon

(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 L) of water. Leave the doors open.

Move the icemaker feeler arm to STOP (up) position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

Behind the Refrigerator

Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces.

Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.

When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line.

Safety Information Operating Instructions Installation Instructions

Clean the condenser coils at least once a year.

Under the Refrigerator

For most efficient operation, keep the area under the refrigerator clean. Remove the base grille and sweep away or vacuum up dust.

For best results, use a brush specially designed for this purpose. It is available at most appliance parts stores.
