Changing the Light Bulb
NOTE:
Not all appliance bulbs will fit your freezer. Be sure to
replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape,
and wattage.
1.
Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2.
Remove the light shield by squeezing the lens from the sides,
pushing back and pulling down.
3.
Replace bulb with a 40-watt maximum appliance bulb
or an LED rated for wet/damp locations.
NOTE:
Some LED replacement light bulbs are not
recommended for wet/damp environments. Refrigerator
fresh food and freezer compartments are considered wet/
damp environments. Read and follow all instructions on the
LED packaging when replacing the factory installed LED bulb.
A replacement LED bulb can be purchased from an authorized
dealer.
4.
Replace the light shield.
5.
Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door closed
to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
■
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
■
If a food locker is not available, consume or can perishable
food at once.
REMEMBER:
A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Moving Care
When you are moving your freezer to a new home, follow these
steps to prepare it for the move:
1.
Remove all frozen food.
2.
Unplug the freezer.
3.
Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
4.
Clean the freezer thoroughly.
5.
Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the
cabinet.
When you get to your new home, refer to the “Installing Your
Freezer” and “Operating Your Freezer” sections for information
on installation and setting the controls.
