6.4 Changing the inside light bulb
Before changing the bulb, make sure that the light has not stopped
working simply because the part inside the lamp socket has become
loose. In all cases, whether you wish to check that the socket is
connected correctly or change the bulb, for safety reasons the plug must
be removed from the power socket. Use your fingers to squeeze the
cover (in the direction shown by the arrow 1) to remove it from its seat.
Extract it (by pulling it in direction 2) and change the bulb (E14, max 15
W).
6.5 Power interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors closed (depending on your model) to
help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:
•
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
• Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep
the food frozen for 2 to 4 days.
• If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can perishable food at once.
NOTE: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer
than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although
the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
