Vacation and Moving Tips

Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of 1 to 3 weeks.
Use up all perishable items from the refrigerator section. Wrap and store other items
in the freezer. If the unit has an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.
Long vacations: Remove all food and ice if you will be gone 1 month or more. Turn
the control to OFF and disconnect the power. If the unit has an automatic ice maker,
turn off the ice maker and turn the water supply valve to the closed position. Defrost
and clean the interior thoroughly. Leave both doors open to prevent odor and mold
buildup. Block open if necessary.
Moving: When moving the refrigerator, follow these guidelines to prevent
damage:
• Remove all food and other items from refrigerator and freezer
compartments. Empty the ice storage bin. Defrost and clean the
interior thoroughly.
• If a hand truck is used in moving, load the refrigerator from the side.
• Turn front rollers as far up as possible (some models). This will protect them
during sliding or moving.
• The cabinet should be well padded and handled with care. DO NOT DROP.
