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.
Raise the leveling legs located at the
bottom front of the refrigerator.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return
it to position by pushing it straight in.
Preparing for Vacation
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.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as base grille,
shelves and drawers by taping them
securely in place to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back
of the refrigerator against the hand truck.
This could damage the refrigerator. Handle
only from the sides of the refrigerator.
Moving the refrigerator in a side direction
may result in damage to the floor covering
or refrigerator.
Lower the leveling legs until they touch
the floor.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line (on some models) and ensure the
anti-tip bracket is engaged (if equipped).
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 sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
