> Vacation Time
• Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug
the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold grov^rth, leave
the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
> Moving Your Refrigerator
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the refrigerator stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also
protect outside of refrigerator with a blanket, or similar item.
> Energy Saving Tips
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
refrigerators or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the
refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
• Refrigerator storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
> Interior Light:
This unit lamp assembly is supplied with a 10W bulb. To replace it make sure to use a bulb of
equivalent size.
• To replace bulb, remove plastic cover at the end of thermostat enclosure by pushing
both ends of the cover and pulling forward.
• Once 10W bulb is exchanged, replace cover.
