Preparing
for vacation For long vacations or absences, remove food
and shut off power to the refrigerator at the
fuse box or circuit breaker. Clean the interior
with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter)
of water. Leave the doors open. For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods
and leave controls at regular settings. However,
if the room temperature is expected to drop
below 60°F (16°C), follow the same
instructions as for long vacations.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position and shut off the water supply to
the refrigerator.
