be gone for a few days.
•	
Long Vacations Remove all food and ice if you will be gone one month or more.
•	
Turn the cooling system off (see “Controls” section for location o\
f 
•	 On/Off button) and disconnect power cord.
Turn off automatic ice maker and turn water supply valve to closed positi\
on.
•	
Clean interior thoroughly.
•	
Leave both doors open to prevent odors and mold build-up. Block doors op\
en if necessary.
•	
Moving Remove all food and ice.

Before you call...
If	you	experience	a	problem	with	your	refrigerator	or	notice	a	product	behavior	or	condition	you	do	not	understand,	you	can	usually	avoid	a	call	to	your	
service	representative	by	referring	to	this	section	for	an	answer. 	Beginning	with	the	following	table,	this	information	includes	common	problems,	causes,	
and	suggested	solutions.

worn, cracked, or poorly fitted. It’s	normal	for	the	refrigerator	to	work	longer	under	these	conditions.
•	
It	takes	8-12	hours	for	the	refrigerator	to	cool	down	completely.
•	
Ice	maker	operation	causes	refrigerator	to	run	slightly	more.

begin	to	break	down.
WATER/MOISTURE/FROST OUTSIDE REFRIGERATOR
moisture collects on outside 
of refrigerator or between 
doors. Weather is humid.
•	
Door	is	slightly	open,	causing	cold	
•	
air	from	inside	refrigerator	to	meet	
warm air from outside. This	is	normal	in	humid	weather.
		When	humidity	is	lower,	the	
•	
moisture should disappear.

or	restricted	by	foreign	material. 		If	
valve	is	of	the	self-piercing	type,	it	
may not have created a sufficiently 
sized hole in tube for water to pass 
through.

•	
24 hours.  f ast ice	should	produce	up	to	2.7	kg	of	ice	every	24	
hours.
