CARE AND CLEANING To change the refrigerator light: 1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. 2. Remove refrigerator shelves. 3. Release the hooks on both ends of the light shield and pull the shield down to remove it. 4. Turn the bulb counterclockwise and remove. 5. Replace a burned-out light bulb with a new bulb, turning it clockwise. 6. Replace the light shield pushing it up. 7. Replace the refrigerator shelves. 8. Plug the power cord to the oulet. Type A REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. Afreezer 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. WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you are away, follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator before you leave. 1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items. 2. Empty the ice bin. If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow these steps. 1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power 2.Remove all food from refrigerator. 3. Clean refrigerator, 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. Type B 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. OR b) Place 2 lbs (ca. 1kg) 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 frostbite. OR c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or perish food at once. WHEN YOU MOVE When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move. 1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice. 2. Depending on your model, turn the thermostat control (refrigerator control) to OFF. See the "Setting the Controls" section. 3. Unplug the refrigerator. 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. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs all the way so they don' t scrape the floor. See the "Door Closing" section. 8. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the refrigerator cabinet. When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the "Installing Your Refrigerator"Section for preparation instructions. 28
