For long vacations or absences, remove

food and unplug the refrigerator. 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 (off)

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.

Be careful when moving the refrigerator

away from the wall. All types of floor

coverings can be damaged, particularly

cushioned coverings and those with

embossed surfaces. 
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return

it to position by pushing it straight in.

Moving the refrigerator in a side direction

may result in damage to the floor covering

or refrigerator.

When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line (on some models).

Secure all loose items such as grille, 

shelves and drawers by taping them 

securely in place to prevent damage.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
