• Cool the refrigerator as much as possible by setting
the dial to "COLD" position.
• Do not stock any new food in the refrigerator.

shelf in "FRESH FOOD COMPARTMENT".
VACATIONS
• If you leave the power on, remove perishables and
make sure doors are completely closed.
• If you shut off the house power for extended
vacations, remove food, defrost and clean interior.
Wipe dry and leave the door open slightly to
prevent formation of odor.
• Oiling is not necessary.
WHEN YOU DISCARD A REFRIGERATOR...
COMPLETELY REMOVE THE DOORS TO PRE-
VENT CHILD ENTRAPMENT. It takes only a moment
with a screwdriver. Do this immediately and have the
old unit carted away and destroyed before it attracts
a child's curiosity... and endangers his life. When you
want to store a refrigerator that will be use again... (1)
remove the doors: or (2) use rubber bumpers or
wooden blocks to prevent door form closing
completely; or (3) chain and padlock tape door closed.
