or more. If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least a day ahead. When the last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker.

both doors...keeping them open farenough for air to get in. This will keep odor and mold from build- ing up.
