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.

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.

turn off the ice maker.
NOTE:
Depending
on your
model,
raise the wire shutoff
arm
to OFF (up) position,
or press the switch
to OFF.

If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator
Before You

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2.
If your refrigerator

7. Take out all removable
parts, wrap them well, and tape
them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator
so it rolls more easily OR raise the leveling screws so they
don't scrape the floor. See "Adjust the Door(s)" or "Door
Closing and Door Alignment."

of the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer
