To change the freezer light:

1.

Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.

Reach behind light shield to remove bulb.

3.

Replace bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

4.

Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

If the electricity goes off, call the power company and ask
how long it will be off.

1.

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep 
both refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay 
cold and frozen.

2.

If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:

a)

Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen 
food locker.

OR

b)

Place 2 lbs of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen
for two to four days. While handling dry ice, wear
gloves to protect your hands from frostbite.

OR

c)

If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, 
consume or can perishable food at once.

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you
are away,

follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator

before you leave.

1.

Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2.

Empty the ice bin.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you
leave,

follow these steps.

1.

Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2.

Depending on your model, set the thermostat control
(refrigerator control) to OFF. See the 

Setting the

Controls

section

.

3.

Clean refrigerator, wipe it and dry well.

4.

Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to
prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops
odor and mold from building up.

WHEN YOU MOVE

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home,
follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1.

Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all
frozen food in dry ice.

2.

Depending on your model, turn the thermostat control
(refrigerator control) to OFF. See the 

Setting the

Controls

section.

3.

Unplug the refrigerator.

4.

Empty water from the defrost pan.

5.

Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.

6.

Take out all removable parts, wrap them well and tape
them together so they don’t shift and rattle during the
move.

7.

Depending on the model, raise the front of the
refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the
leveling legs all the way so they don’t scrape the floor.
See the 

Door Closing 

section.

8.

Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the
refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back 
and refer to the 

Installing Your Refrigerator

section for

preparation instructions.
