Preparing for vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and shut off power to the refrigerator at the fuse box or circuit breaker. Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.

For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave controls at regular settings. However, if the room temperature is expected to drop below 60°F (16°C), follow the same instructions as for long vacations.

Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off) position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
