Preparing for Vacation
If your refrigerator has a dispenser and there
is any possibility that the temperature can drop
below freezing where the refrigerator is located,
the water supply system (including the water
tank and the water valve) must be drained by a
qualified servicer.
For short vacations or absences (three months
or less):
1. Remove all perishables.
2. If no one will be checking in on the refrigerator
during your absence, remove all frozen items also.
3. Automatic ice maker:
• Shut off the water supply to the ice
maker at least one day ahead of time.
• After the last load of ice cubes drop, raise
the wire shut off arm to the OFF position.
• Empty the ice bin.
4. If the room temperature will drop below 55°F
(13° C), follow the instructions for longer
absences.
For long vacations, absences (more than three
months) OR if the room temperature will drop
below 55º F (13° C):
1. Remove food.
2. Ice maker:
• Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at
least one day ahead of time.
• After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut

3. If your refrigerator has a dispenser system with
water
filter, remove the water filter cartridge
and install the
cartridge.

or (—) with touch controls (see page 14).
5. Unplug the refrigerator.
6. Thoroughly clean the interior of both compartments
with a baking soda solution and a clean soft cloth
(four tablespoons of baking soda in one quart of
warm water).
7. Dry thoroughly.
8. Leave the doors open to prevent the formation of
mold and mildew.
Upon your return:
After a short vacation or absence:
Ice makers and dispenser:
• Reconnect the water supply and turn on
supply valve (see page 13).
• Monitor water connection for 24 hours and
correct leaks if necessary.
• Run 10-15 glasses of water from the
dispenser to flush out the system.
• Restart the ice maker.
• Discard at least the first three ice harvests.
After a long vacation or absence:
• If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker,
reconnect the water supply and turn on supply
valve (see page 13).
• Plug the refrigerator back in and reset controls
(see page 3).
• Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct
leaks, if necessary. For dispenser models, run
water through the dispenser for at least three
minutes with the filter bypass in place, then install
water filter (see page 13).
• After installing the water filter, run water through
the dispenser continuously for at least two
minutes, or until water runs steady. Initially you
may notice a one-two minute delay in water
dispersal as the internal tank fills.
