Preparing for Vacation
If your refrigerator
has a dispenser and there is any
possibility that the temperature
can drop below
freezing where the refrigerator
is located, the water
supply system (including
the water tank and the
water valve) must be drained by a qualified
servicer.
For short vacations
or absences
[three months
or less):
1. Remove all perishables.
2. If no one will be checking
in on the refrigerator
during your absence, remove all frozen items also.
3. If your refrigerator
has an automatic
ice maker:
• Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at
least one day ahead of time.
• After the last load of ice drops, raise the wire
shut off arm to the OFF position.
• Empty the ice bin.
4. If the room temperature
will drop below 55 ° F
(13° C), follow the instructions
for longer absences.
