Care and Cleaning
Preparing for Vacation
If 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.
• Shut off the water supply to the ice maker at
least one day ahead of time.
• After the last load of ice drops, press ice maker
switch to OFF.
• Empty the ice bin.
3. If the room temperature will drop below 55° F
(13° C), follow the instructions for longer absences.
For Long Vacations, Absences (More Than Three
Months) OR if the Room Temperature Will Drop
Below 55º F (13° C):

one day ahead of time.
• After the last load of ice drops, press ice maker
switch to OFF.

2. Remove the water filter cartridge and install the filter
bypass. Dispose of the used cartridge.
3. Turn the Freezer control to OFF.

with a baking soda solution and a clean, soft cloth
(four tablespoons of baking soda in one quart of
warm water).

keep the doors from shutting while you are away.
