If your refrigerator
is equipped
with an automatic
ice maker, shut off the ice maker
water supply
a
day ahead
of time. Disconnect
the water line. After
the last supply of ice drops, lift the signal arm to turn
off the ice maker.
Remove
all food. Pack frozen foods in dry ice.
Unplug the refrigerator
and clean it thoroughly.
Remove everything
that comes out. Wrap all parts
well and tape them together
so they don't shift and
rattle.
Screw in the leveling
rollers; tape the doors shut;
tape the electric
cord to the cabinet.
When you get
to your new home,
put everythIng
back,
level it.
reconnect
the water supply and refer to the "Before
Using., ," page.
If you need service or
assistance, we suggest
you follow these four steps:

Before calling
for assistance..
.
Performance
problems
often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
if your refrigerator
will not operate:
l
Is the electric
cord plugged
in?
l
Is a fuse blown or a circuit breaker
tripped?
l
Is the Refrrgerator Control turned
ON7
if there is a rattling
or jingling
noise, or other
unfamiliar
sounds:
l
Is something
on top or behind the refrigerator
mak-
ing noise when the refrigerator
is running?
l
New features on your new refrigerator
make new
sounds. You may be hearing
air flowing
from the
fans, timer clicks for the defrosting
cycle,
defrost
water draining
into the defrost pan.
if there is water in the defrost pan:
l
In hot, muggy weather, this is normal. The pan can
even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator
IS level
so the pan doesn't overflow.
if the ilght doesn't work:
l
Check
fuses and circuit
breakers.
Make sure It's
plugged
in.
if a bulb is burned out:
l

light bulbs on page

bulbs only.
it the motor seems to run too long:
l
Is the condenser, behind the refrigerator, free of dust
and lint?
l
On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor natu-
rally runs longer
l
If the door has been opened
a lot, the motor will run
longer to cool down the interior.
Remember:
Motor running time depends
on dif-
ferent things: number
of door openings,
amount
of
food stored, temperature
of the room, setting of the
controls.
And. your new refrigerator
may be larger than
your old one so it has more space
to be cooled.
It
also has a regular freezer instead
of a frozen food
compartment.
All this means better refrigeration
and
may require more running time than your old one.
