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.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make 
sure you don’t roll over the power cord or ice 
maker supply line.
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 ice maker power switch to the O (off) 
position and shut off the water supply to the 
refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, 
have a qualified servicer drain the water 
supply system to prevent serious property 
damage due to flooding.
Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as 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.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright 
position during moving.
