Vacations
If you will be gone for a month or less, leave the
controls at the usual settings.
During longer absences:
a) remove all food.
b) shut off the ice maker (if installed) and the valve
where you tapped into the water line to supply the
refrigerator.
c) disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical outlet.
d) remove the filter cartridge (select models) and
install the filter bypass (see pages 12-13), dispose of
the used cartridge. A new cartridge can be installed
when the refrigerator is put back into service.

change reminder (select models).
e) clean and dry the refrigerator thoroughly.

Storage and Maintenance of Refrigerator
Replacing a Light Bulb
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord before replacing light bulb(s). Wear gloves as
protection against replacing possible broken glass.
Always use a standard 40- or 60-watt appliance bulb when replacing a fresh food or
freezer compartment bulb.

There are two light bulbs located at the top of the
refrigerator compartment, on the underside of the Dual

control housing.
To replace a light bulb(s), remove the control cover
from the control housing:
• grasp the control cover at the two rear “finger tabs.”
These are located at the upper rear of the fresh food
compartment, behind the light shields.
• pull down slightly to clear the retainer tabs and slide
the cover forward until it is free.
• replace the bulb(s) with a 60-watt, standard base
appliance bulb(s).
• After replacing the bulb(s), align the control cover on
to the ribs on the control housing and slide it straight
back until it snaps onto the retainer tabs.
On select models, there is an additional light located
behind the top crisper drawer. To replace see page 7.
Freezer
The freezer light is located on the back wall of the
freezer compartment.
To replace:
• unhook the tabs on the top of the light shield by
pressing in with the thumb on the center top of the
light shield.
• pivot the shield down.
• unscrew the bulb when cool and replace it with a
standard 40-watt appliance bulb.
• replace the bulb cover by pivoting it back into place
and snapping the tabs into the appropriate slots.
Dispenser Light (dispenser models only)
To replace:
• Locate the light bulb in the dispenser area to the left
of the actuator.
• Unscrew the used bulb and remove.
