To change freezer light:

(on some models)

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 in your house 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.

b) Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every

cubic foot (28 L) 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 ice

burns.

c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is 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 safely refrozen, although

the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of

the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

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

away, use these steps to prepare your refrigerator before

you leave.

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Raise ice maker arm to OFF (up) position.

■ Shut off water supply to the ice maker.

3. 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. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least

one day ahead of time.

■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the ice maker

arm to the OFF (up) position.

3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control

(or Refrigerator Control, depending on the model) to

OFF. See the “Setting the Controls” section.

4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5. 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.
