Changing the Light Bulbs
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. The lights
require a 40-watt maximum appliance bulb. Replacement bulbs
are available from your dealer.
Refrigerator Lights
There are three light bulbs located in the top front of the
refrigerator compartment behind a light shield.
1. Remove the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”
2. Press power switch to the Off position.
3. Open the light shield. Grasp the light shield by the openings.
Gently push back and pull down, as shown, to access the
light bulbs.
4. Remove the light bulb and replace it with one of the same
size, shape and wattage.
5. Close the light shield by raising it up into place.
NOTE: If needed, clean the light shield with a damp soft cloth.
6. Press the power switch to the On position.
7. Replace the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”
Freezer Lights
There are two light bulbs located in the top of the freezer
compartment. One bulb is over the ice bin, and the other bulb is
over the freezer pan.
1. Slide open the ice bin or freezer pan to access the light bulb.
2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with one of the same
size, shape and wattage.
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold
and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
■ Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
■ 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 2 to
4days.
■ 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
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Vacation Care
Your refrigerator is equipped with the Rest Mode feature, which is
designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights and ice
maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain
unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights
will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is
recommended to exit the Rest Mode when it is no longer required.
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On
While You’re Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press REST MODE pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off the
water supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press REST MODE to return
to normal operation.
If You Choose to Turn the Refrigerator Off
Before You Leave:
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, slide the ice maker control
to the OFF (down) position.
3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control
(or Refrigerator Control) to OFF. See “Using the Controls.”
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of all doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
