To clean the condenser: 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Remove the base grille. 3. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser. 4. Replace the base grille when finished. 5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power. Changing the Light Bulb NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, and wattage (no greater than 40 watts). ■ The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. ■ On some models, the interior lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. ■ Some models may have LEDs in one compartment and an appliance bulb in another compartment. To Replace an Appliance Bulb: 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Remove the light shield(s), if necessary. ■ Squeeze both sides of the light shield while pulling downward to remove. 3. Replace burned-out bulb(s) with appliance light bulb(s) no greater than 40 watts. 4. Replace the light shield(s) by inserting the tabs on the shield into the liner holes and snap into place.
