Vacation and Moving Tips
Short Vacations: Leave the appliance

Long Vacations: If the unit will not be
used for several months, remove all food and

prevent odor and mold growth.

from the wall outlet. Remove food, defrost,
and then clean the appliance. Secure all loose
items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves
