Transport preparations

Once your appliances are disconnected, follow these 9 steps to successfully move them:

• Wash and sweep the area around the appliance so that it does not risk being scratched or moving dust or dirt when you move it.
• Take this opportunity to thoroughly clean the interior of your device as well as the parts that are difficult to access.
• Remove the removable parts (stove grates, refrigerator shelves, microwave tray, etc.) and package them separately.
• Wrap the hoses of your washer in a towel and place them in the machine.
• Bend the power cords of your appliances and secure them with tape.
• Fasten the appliance doors with straps so that they remain closed during transport.
• Protect each device with a cover attached with straps.
• To move the devices, get a handy trolley and sturdy belts, or get help from professional movers.
•  Always use solid grips to lift the appliance (for example, do not use the door handle or the back of your oven).
