Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. (cont.) Behind the Refrigerator Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces. Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator. When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line (on some models). Preparing for Vacation For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open. Set the icemaker power switch to the OFF position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator. If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to flooding. Preparing to Move Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator, do not rest the front or back of the refrigerator against the hand truck. This could damage the refrigerator. Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator. Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving. Replacing the light bulbs. (on some models) WARNING Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.) Turning the control to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit. Your light shield will look like one of the following: Tabs OR Pocket 5HIULJHUDWRU&RPSDUWPHQW³8SSHU/LJKW Unplug the refrigerator. The bulbs are located at the top of the compartment, inside the light shield. On some models, a screw at the front of the light shield will have to be removed. On other models, the screw is located in the pocket located at the back of the shield. To remove the light shield, on some models, press in on the tabs on the sides of the shield and slide forward and out. On other models, just slide the shield forward and out. After replacing the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same or lower wattage, replace the light shield and screw. When replacing the light shield, make sure that the tabs at the back of the shield fit into the slots at the back of the light shield housing. Plug the refrigerator back in. 16
