POWER INTERRUPTIONS
If the electricity goes off, call the power company and ask
how long it will be off.
1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep
both refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay
cold and frozen.
2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen
food locker.
OR
b) Place 2 lbs of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen
for two to four days. While handling dry ice, wear
gloves to protect your hands from frostbite.
OR
c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,
consume or can perishable food at once.
WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you
are away, follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator
before you leave.
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Empty the ice bin.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you
leave, follow these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Depending on your model, set the thermostat control
(refrigerator control) to OFF. See the Setting the
Controls section.
3. Clean refrigerator, wipe it and dry well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to
prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops
odor and mold from building up.
WHEN YOU MOVE
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home,
follow these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all
frozen food in dry ice.
2. Depending on your model, turn the thermostat control
(refrigerator control) to OFF. See the Setting the
Controls section.
3. Unplug the refrigerator.
4. Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.
5. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well and tape
them together so they don’t shift and rattle during the
move. Refer to sections in Using your Refrigerator for
removable instructions.
6. Depending on the model, raise the front of the
refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the
leveling legs all the way so they don’t scrape the floor.
See the Door Closing section.
7. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the
refrigerator cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put everything back
and refer to the Installing Your Refrigerator section for
preparation instructions.
