CARE AND CLEANING
The light tubes are not covered by your warranty. Replace-
ment tubes can be obtained from your dealer or from
Northland-Marvel.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as pos-
sible. Minimize the number of door openings while the
power is off so as not to adversely affect the unit’s tem-
perature.

Light Tube Replacement
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING
LIGHT TUBE REPLACEMENT. Failure to do so may result in
an electrical shock that could severely injure you.
The 3SBARE uses one, 6 watt light tube. The 6SBARE and
8SBARE use two, 6 watt light tubes to illuminate the interior
of the refrigerator. The light tube is a very reliable electrical
component, but should it not function properly, please call
the dealer you purchased your refrigerator from for a re-
placement light tube. Use only an original equipment light
tube from your dealer or Northland-Marvel.
It may be necessary to remove 1 or 2 shelves directly below
the light tube to gain access for removal. See page 21 for
instructions on removing the shelves.
Do NOT under any circumstance use a light tube that ex-
ceeds 10 watts!
To replace a light tube, use a hex-head driver, remove the
two hex-head screws that hold a cover plate over the back
section of the light tube. Set the screws and cover plate
aside for reassembly later.
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, gently lever the front
section of the light tube down to allow it to be pulled clear of
the light housing.
Disconnect the two insulated electrical connectors from the
cabinet’s electrical cable and discard the old light tube. Re-
connect the electrical connector of the new light tube to the
cabinet’s electrical cable connectors. Make sure it is secure
and fully installed.
Carefully realign the light tube’s electrical terminal back into
the rear of the light enclosure channel making sure not to
crimp them. Gently insert the light tube along the length of
the light enclosure channel. Press the light tube gently into
the light enclosure channel. Only a small part of the light
tube should project below the ceiling of the refrigerator. DO
NOT USE A HAMMER TO FIT THE LIGHT TUBE.
Place the light tube terminal cover plate back in the original
position on the light enclosure’s flange. Reuse the original
two screws to secure it in place. Plug the refrigerator into
the electrical socket. Check to see if the light tube operates
properly. Your light tube’s replacement is complete.
