VACATION AND MOVING TIPS

Short Vacations:

• Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

Long Vacations:

If the refrigerator will not be used for several months:
• Remove all food and unplug the power cord.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
• Leave the refrigerator door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to
prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving: When moving the refrigerator, follow these guidelines to prevent
damage:
• Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
• Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the refrigerator.
• Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping
them securely in place to prevent damage.
• In the moving vehicle, secure refrigerator in an upright position to prevent
movement. Also protect outside of refrigerator with a blanket, or similar item.
CARE & CLEANING
Keep your refrigerator clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads,
brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not
wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the electrical power
