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.

3. Replace the light shield.

4. Plug in the refrigerator or freezer or reconnect the 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, consume or can

perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If you choose to leave the refrigerator or freezer on while you’re

away, use up any perishables and freeze other items.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator or freezer off before you

leave, follow these steps:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator or freezer.

2. Turn the control to the off position. See the “Using the

Controls” section.

3. Clean the refrigerator or freezer, 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.

Moving

When you are moving your refrigerator or freezer to a new home,

follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator or freezer.

2. Turn the control to the off position. See the “Using the

Controls” section.

3. Unplug the refrigerator or freezer.

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. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the unit

cabinet.

8. Unlock the casters to roll away the unit.

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

the “Installing Your Refrigerator or Freezer” section for preparation

instructions.

3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,

crispers, etc.

4. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a

mild detergent in warm water.

■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, ﬂammable ﬂuids, cleaning waxes,

concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing

petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners

or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other

harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.

■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a

mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to

0.95 L] of water).

5. Replace removable parts.

6. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior ﬁnish.

Painted Metal: Wash exterior door with a microﬁber cloth and a

mild detergent in warm water. For all other exterior surfaces, wash

with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm

water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or cleaners designed

for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

7. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be

cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save

energy.

■ Open the refrigerator or freezer door and remove the base

grille by removing two Phillips head screws and pulling the

grille toward you.

■ Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the

condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.

■ Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with

the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille

into place. Reinstall the screws.

8. Plug in the refrigerator or freezer or reconnect the power.

9. Set the temperature control to desired setting. See the “Using

the Controls” sections.

Auto Defrost Freezer

Auto-defrost means that you will not have to defrost your freezer.

Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and

depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically

warms up enough to melt the frost, and it then ﬂows down to the

drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is evaporated.

Changing the Light Bulb

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will ﬁt your refrigerator or freezer.

Be sure to replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same

size, shape, and wattage.

1. Unplug the refrigerator or freezer or disconnect the power.

2. Remove the light shield by squeezing the lens from the

sides, pushing back and pulling down. Replace bulb with a

maximum 40 watt appliance bulb or an LED bulb rated for

wet/damp locations.
