home, follow these steps to prepare it for the
move.

all frozen food in dry ice.

control (refrigerator control) to OFF. See the
Setting the Controls section.
3. Unplug the refrigerator.

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 removal
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

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.
