Caring Your For Refrigerator
Vacation movingcare and
Short vacations
No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be away for less than four weeks. Use up perishables; freeze other items. If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker: 1. Turn it off. 2. Shut off the water supply to the ice maker. 3. Empty the ice bin.

Powerintermptions
If electricity goes off, call the power company. Ask how long power will be off.

1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. This will help
frozen food stay frozen. 2. If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours: (a) Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker. OR (b) Place 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cu. ft. of freezer space. This will keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns. (c) If neither food locker storage nor dry ice is available, use or can perishable food at once. 3. A full freezer will stay cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

Long vacations
Remove all the food if you are going for a month or more. If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least a day ahead. When the last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it.. .rinse well and dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the top of both doors.. . keeping them open far enough for air to get in. This will keep odor and mold from building up.

Personal Injury Hazard Do not allow children near the refrigerator when the doors are blocked open. They may become injured or trapped.
