If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow these steps. 1. Remove all food from the refrigerator. 2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker: � Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time. When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position. 3. Turn the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control, depending on the model) to OFF.
