Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
20
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All
types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned
coverings and those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by
pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction
may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don't roll over the power cord
or icemaker supply line (on some models).
Under the Refrigerator
For most efficient operation, keep the area under the
refrigerator clean. Remove the base grille and sweep
away or vacuum up dust.
For best results, use a brush specially designed for this
purpose. It is available at most appliance parts stores.
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the
refrigerator. Move the fresh food control to the OFF position, and
clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 L) of water. Leave the
doors open.
Move the icemaker feeler arm (on some models) to the STOP (up)
position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified
servicer drain the water supply system (on some models) to
prevent serious property damage due to flooding.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping
them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
