clean the interior with a bak]ng soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (lL) of water. Wipe dry. To

Leave doors open.

icemaking, and be sure to shut off water supply to the refrigerator.
For shorter vacations, remove perishablefoods andleave
controlsat regular settings. However, if room temperature is
expected to drop below 60°F. (16°C.), follow the same instructions
as for extended vacations.
Refrigerator Location
Do install it on a floor strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator.
When You Move
Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all food, and clean
and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and storage pans by
taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position during actual moving and
in van. Refrigerator must be secured in van to prevent movement.
Protect outside of refrigerator with blanket.
Rollers
Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. These rollers should be
set so that the refrigerator rests firmly on the floor. To assure that the
doors will close automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a
built-in tilt from the front to the back of the cabinet. Side-by-side
refrigerators also have specially designed door hinges that lift both
doors slightly when opened, allowing the force of gravity to help close
them securely.
To adjust rollers, remove the base grille by
grasping it at the bottom and pulling it out.

Turn roller adjusted screws clockwise to

When adjusting front rollers for proper door closure, we recommend
that the bottom front edge of the cabinet be approximately 5/8"
(16 mm) from the floor.
To replace the base grille, align
prongs on back of grille with clamps
in cabinet and push back until the grille
snaps into place.
