Preparing for Vacation
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. If your refrigerator has an 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 drops, raise the wire
shut off arm to the OFF position.
Empty the ice bin.
4. If the room temperature will drop below 13° C,
follow the instructions for longer absences.
For long vacations, absences (more than three
months) OR if the room temperature will drop below
13° C:
1. Remove food.
2. If your refrigerator has an 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 drops, raise the wire
shut off arm to the OFF position.
Empty the ice bin.
3. If your refrigerator has a dispenser system with
water filter, remove the water filter cartridge and
install the filter bypass. Dispose of the used
cartridge.
4. Turn the Freezer control to OFF.
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:
For models with automatic ice makers or dispensers:
Reconnect the water supply and turn on supply valve
(see page 3).
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 3).
Plug the refrigerator back in and reset controls (see
pages 7-9).
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 16).
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 to two minute delay in water dispersal as the
internal tanks fills.
Restart the ice maker.
Discard ice produced within the first 12 hours (at
least the first three harvests).
Preparing to Move
Follow the above instructions for long
vacations/absences, through step 7.
Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers
by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Tape the doors shut.
Use an appliance dolly when moving the refrigerator.
ALWAYS truck the refrigerator from its side or back
- NEVER from its front.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position
during moving.
