Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you're away, use
up any perishables and freeze other items.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow
these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
2. Turn the control to the off position. See the "Using the
Control" and "Defrost and Clean the Freezer" sections.
3. Clean the refrigerator, and dry it well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
