Behind the Refrigerator
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.
Under the Refrigerator
For most efficient operation, keep the
area under the refrigerator clean. Remove
the base grille and sweep away or vacuum
up dust.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. Move
the fresh food control to the
position, and clean the interior with a
baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 l)
of water. Leave the doors open.
Move the icemaker feeler arm (on some
models) to the STOP (up) position and shut
off the water supply to the refrigerator.
Preparing to Move
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.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line (on some models).
For best results, use a brush specially
designed for this purpose. It is available at
most appliance parts stores.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water
(off)
supply system (on some models) to prevent
serious property damage due to flooding.
