Owner’s Manual 5
For the best cooling performance:
- Let air move freely inside the entire food compartment.
- Do not cover the shelves with plastic, paper, etc.
To decrease the amount of ice that collects on the cooling fins:
- Cover all liquids and moist foods.
- Let all hot foods cool before putting them in the refrigerator.
- Do not open the door any longer than necessary.
Freezer compartment:
The freezer compartment is made to keep pre-frozen food
frozen and not to quick freeze food. Keep pre-frozen foods in
the freezer compartment.
NOTE: Do not put other items on the ice tray while the water is
freezing. The water freezes more rapidly if the
thermostat is at the COLDEST position.
Crisper(s):
The crisper(s) are located at the bottom of the fresh food
compartment and supply a storage area to preserve fruit and
vegetable freshness. Make sure that you always push the
crispers fully in.
NOTE: Do not wash the crispers in a dishwasher. The crispers
are not dishwasher safe.
Door bins:
You may put the door bins of the freezer and fresh food compart-
ment in a location that best meets your needs. To remove the
bins, lift them over the locator and pull them forward. To install
the bins, push them onto the locator.
NOTE: Do not wash the door bins and bin slides in a
dishwasher. The door bins and bin slides are not
dishwasher safe.
Adjustable shelves:
The shelves in the freezer and the fresh food compartment are
made so you can remove them or move them.
To remove or move the shelf of the freezer:
- Pull the shelf forward out of the slot.
- Push it fully into the slot that you wish.
To remove or move each shelf of the fresh food compartment:
- Remove the screw from the retainer of each shelf at the rear
of the refrigerator.
- Pull each shelf forward out of the slot.
- Push each shelf fully into the slot that you wish.
- Attach the retainer with the screw.
Door handles:
During travel, the door latch prevents the door from opening.
When closing each door, push the door toward the refrigerator
until you hear a “click” sound.
To open each door, pull the handle away from the refrigerator.
During storage, the storage latch prevents the door from
completely closing. Use it to prevent odors when the refrigera-
tor is stored for an extended period of time.
To operate the storage latch (see Art00990), open each door
about 1/2 inch and push the storage latch [1] into the cutout [2]
of the strike plate. Do not use the storage latch as a travel latch
because the doors will not be fully closed.
Interior light:
The interior light is at the top of the fresh food compartment. It
comes on when the refrigerator is ON and the door is open. To
replace the bulb:
1. Remove the DC power supply wires from the power board at
the rear of the refrigerator.
2. To remove the cover [1] , push it toward the rear of the
refrigerator (See Art00988).
3. Remove the light bulb [2] from the holder [3].
NOTE: Use only a GE#214-2 bulb as the replacement bulb.
This bulb is available at most retail automotive parts
centers.
4. Install the replacement bulb.
5. Install the cover.
6. Connect the DC power supply wires to the power board at
the rear of the refrigerator.
Moisture reduction heater:
The refrigerator has a heater that prevents moisture from
forming on the center divider between the doors of the freezer
and the fresh food compartment. The heater operates only
when the refrigerator is ON.
