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. 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 water supply line.
Preparing for Vacation
CAUTION
 Do not clean glass shelves or covers 
with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and 
covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature 
changes or impact such as bumping or dropping. 
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small 
pieces if it breaks.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the 
dishwasher.
Set the icemaker power switch to the OFF position 
and be sure to shut off the water supply to the 
refrigerator.
For long vacations or absences, remove food from

For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and

follow the same instructions as for long vacations.
