Bottom Mount Refrigerator
Preparing for vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the control to OFF, 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.
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 extended vacations.
Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP (up) position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
