Changing the light bulb
^WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before removing a light bulb, either
unplug the refrigerator or disconnect
the electricity leading to the refrigera

the Temperature Control to the OFF
position does not disconnect the
refrigerator from the power supply.
Failure to do so could result in electri
cal shock or personal injury.
To change the refrigerator light:
1. Disconnect refrigerator from power
supply.
2. Reach behind the Control Panel to
remove bulb.
3. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Reconnect refrigerator to power supply.
NOTE: Not all commercial appliance bulbs
will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace a
bulb with one of the same size, wattage and
shape.
