Kenmore 795.5103 Series User Manual

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION
If you choose to leave the refrigerator running while
you are away, follow these steps to prepare your
refrigerator before you leave.
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Empty the ice bin.
3. Turn OFF the icemaker. NOTE: If the ambient
temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified
service technician drain the water supply system (on
some models) to prevent serious property damage
due to possible flooding from ruptured water lines or
connections.
If you choose to unplug your refrigerator before you
leave, follow these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and empty ice
bin.
2. Unplug refrigerator.
3. Clean refrigerator, wipe, and dry well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors
to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This
stops odor and mold from building up.
WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O)
• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a
minute or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker
fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I)
position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked
up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power
switch to OFF (O) position.
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position
before the water line is connected can damage
the icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
WHEN YOU MOVE
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home,
follow these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all
frozen food in dry ice.
2. Unplug refrigerator.
3. Clean refrigerator, wipe, and dry well.
4. Empty water from the defrost pan.
5. Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.
6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well and
tape together so they do not shift and rattle during the
move. Refer to sections in Using your Refrigerator for
removal instructions.
7. Depending on the model, raise the front of the
refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the
leveling legs all the way so they don not scrape the
floor. See the DOOR ALIGNMENT section.
8. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the
refrigerator cabinet.
9. If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified service technician drain the water
supply system (on some models) to prevent serious
property damage due to possible flooding from ruptured
water lines or connections.
When you get to your new home, put everything back
and refer to the REFRIGERATION INSTALLATION
section for setup instructions.
