If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors closed
(depending on your model) to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:
• Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
• Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L)
of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 4 days.
• If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can
perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A
freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If
you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the
quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor,
dispose of it.
Vacations
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You're Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, and is connected to
the household water supply, turn off the water supply to the
refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the water supply is not
turned off.
3.
4.
If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.
NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm to OFF
(arm up) position, or press the switch to OFF.

Models with Vacation Mode Feature
• Turn on Vacation mode. See "Using the Controls."
NOTE: Activating Vacation mode does not turn off the ice maker.
If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You Leave:
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 or press the switch to OFF, depending on your
model.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See "Using the Control(s)."
5. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
6. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them

building up.

to prepare it for the move.
