APPLIANCES

Wrap small appliances and place in sturdy book cartons with heaviest items on the bottom. Empty the refrigerator of all contents, drain the drip pan and disconnect the water supply of automatic icemakers. To prepare your freezer--pack all of the contents in small cartons and then return them to the freezer. On move day, the movers can then temporarily remove the boxes while handling the appliance and reload it when on board the van. This way you are able to use the freezer like a portable cooler without risk of damage. Have an authorized service person prepare all large appliances prior to move day.
