IMPORTANT
Once your refrigerator Ice and Water dispensing system has been filled with water,
it is important that the refrigerator remain in an environment that stays above the
freezing mark.
If the refrigerator is going to be stored in an environment that will fall below freezing,
or will see freezing temperatures during a move, the water in the Ice and Water
system must be drained completely. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
Ice and Water system. This damage could result in water leaks when the refrigerator
is put back in service.
It would be advisable to contact a service representative to perform this operation.
