Vacation and moving

Long vacations

Remove all the food if you are going for a month or more. If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead. When the last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker. Make sure all ice is dispensed out of mechanism.

Unplug the refrigerator. Clean, rinse it well and dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This will keep odor and mold from building up.

Personal Injury Hazard

Do not allow children to climb on, play near or climb inside the refrigerator when the doors are blocked open.

They may become injured or trapped.

To restart refrigerator, see “Using Your Refrigera- tor” on page 7.

care

Short vacations

No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be away for less than four weeks. Use up perish- ables; freeze other items. If you have an auto- matic ice maker:

1.Turn off your ice maker by raising signal arm.

2.Shut off the water supply to the ice maker.

3.Empty the ice bin.

Moving

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, shut off the ice maker water supply at least a day ahead. Disconnect the water line. After the last load of ice drops, lifl the signal arm to turn off the ice maker.

Remove all food. Pack frozen food in dry ice. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it thoroughly.

Take out all removable parts. Wrap all parts well and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle. Tape the doors shut; and tape the electric cord to the cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put every- thing back and refer to page 5. Also, if you have an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water supply line.
