Vacation and M oving Care
Short Vacations
If you will be away for less than
four weeks, there is no need to shut
off the refrigerator. Use up
perishables and freeze other items.
Long Vacations
Remove all food if you will be gone
a month or more.
Unplug the refrigerator and clean
it...rinse well and dry. Tape rubber
or wood blocks to the top of both
doors...keeping them open far
enough for air to get in. This
will keep odor and mold from
building up.
To restart the refrigerator, see
"Using the Refrigerator-Freezer, "
page 7
Moving
If the refrigerator-freezer must be
moved, contact the dealer from
whom you purchased the
refrigerator-freezer or your local
KitchenAid authorized servicer.
