When You Go on Vacation
When You Move
For extended vacations or absences, shut off the power to the
refrigerator, move the control to the “0” position, and clean the
interior with a baking soda solution of 15 ml of baking soda to one
liter of water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors, leave an open box of baking
soda in the refrigerator. Leave doors open.
Move icemaker feeler arm to
(up) position, which stops
icemaking, and be sure to shut off water supply to the refrigerator.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave controls at
regular settings. However, if room temperature is expected to drop
below 16°C, follow the same instructions as for extended vacations.
Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all food, and clean
and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and storage pans by
taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position during actual moving and
in van. Refrigerator must be secured in van to prevent movement.
Protect outside of refrigerator with blanket.
Rollers
Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. These rollers should be
set so that the refrigerator rests firmly on the floor. To assure that the
doors will close automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a
built-in tilt from the front to the back of the cabinet. Side-by-side
refrigerators also have specially designed door hinges that lift both
doors slightly when opened, allowing the force of gravity to help close
them securely.
To adjust rollers, remove the base grille by
grasping it at the bottom and pulling it out.
Turn roller adjusting screws clockwise to
raise refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower
it. Use adjustable wrench (3/8
″
hex head bolt)
or pliers.
When adjusting front rollers for proper door
closure, we recommend that the bottom front
edge of the cabinet be approximately 16 mm
from the floor.
To replace the base grille, align
prongs on back of grille with clamps
in cabinet and push back until the grille
snaps into place.
Water Supply to Icemaker
(on some models)
If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an
icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be connected to a cold
drinking (potable) water line.
A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings
and instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There
should be sufficient tubing from the cold water supply to the
icemaker inlet to allow moving the refrigerator out from the wall
several feet (approximately 2.5 m of 1/4
″
copper tubing in three
25 cm diameter coils).
Do not use kits with plastic tubing since there is water pressure in the
supply line at all times.
Maximum permissible inlet water pressure—8.3 bars.
Minimum permissible inlet water pressure—1.4 bars.
Installation of icemaker must be made by a qualified service technician.
