Light Bulb Replacement
A 40-watt appliance bulb and socket are
located behind the light shield next to
the temperature control. To replace a
burned-out bulb, reach in behind the
light shield, unscrew the bulb, and screw
in a same-size, same-type bulb.
Before replacing a burned out light bulb,
unplug the refrigerator. Setting the
control to OFF does not remove power
to the light circuit.
Beneath and Behind the Refrigerator
• In the refrigeration process, it is
normal that heat be expelled in the
area under the refrigerator. Some
synthetic floor coverings will discolor
at these normal and safe operating
temperatures. Your floor covering
supplier should be consulted if you
object to this discoloration.
• Care should be taken in moving your
refrigerator away from the wall.
All types of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularly cushioned
coverings and those with embossed
surfaces.
• When pushing the refrigerator back,
make sure you don’t roll over the
power cord.
When You Move
Disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet, remove food and defrost
refrigerator. Then clean and dry
the interior.
Secure all loose items
such as ice trays and
drip tray by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position
during actual moving and in van.
Refrigerator must be secured in van to
prevent movement. Protect outside of
refrigerator with blanket.
When You Go on Vacation
For extended vacations or absences,
unplug the refrigerator. Clean the
interior with a baking soda solution
of one tablespoon of soda to one quart
of water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors,
leave an open box of baking soda in the
refrigerator. Leave doors open.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable
foods and leave the control at regular
setting. However, if room temperature
is expected to drop below 40°F, follow
the same instructions as for extended
vacations.
