Preparing
for
vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food
and unplug the refrigerator/freezer. Move the
control to OFF, 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.
For shorter vacations,
remove perishable foods
and leave the control at the regular setting.
However, if the room temperature is expected
to drop below 60°F (16°C), follow the same
instructions as for extended vacations.
Move icemaker power switch to the
O
(off)
position and shut off the water supply to the
refrigerator/freezer.
