keep both refrigerator doors closed to help

CARE AND CLEANING
25
WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on
while you are away, follow these steps to
prepare your refrigerator before you leave.
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other
items.
2. Empty the ice bin.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off
before you leave, follow these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Depending on your model, set the thermostat
control (refrigerator control) to OFF. See the
Setting the Controls section.
3. Clean refrigerator, wipe it and dry 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.
WHEN YOU MOVE
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new
home, follow these steps to prepare it for the
move.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack
all frozen food in dry ice.
2. Depending on your model, turn the thermostat
control (refrigerator control) to OFF. See the
Setting the Controls section.
3. Unplug the refrigerator.
4. Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.
5. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well
and tape them together so they don't shift and
rattle during the move. Refer to sections in
Using your Refrigerator for removable
instructions.
6. Depending on the model, raise the front of the
refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in
the leveling legs all the way so they don't
scrape the floor. See the Door Closing
section.
7. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord
to the refrigerator cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put everything
back and refer to the Installing Your
Refrigerator section for preparation instructions.
