For long vacations or absences, remove food
and unplug the refrigerator. Move the freezer
control to the O position, and clean the
interior with a baking soda solution of one
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one
quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the
O 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.

Turning the control to the 0 position does not remove power to the light circuit.
