Changing the light bulb
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before removing a light bulb, either
unplug the refrigerator or disconnect
the electricity leading to the refrigera-

the Temperature Control to the OFF
position does not disconnect the
refrigerator from the power supply.
Failure to do so could result in electri-
cal shock or personal injury.
To change the refrigerator light:
1. Disconnect refrigerator from power
supply.
2. Reach behind the Control Panel to
remove bulb.
3. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Reconnect refrigerator to power supply.
NOTE: Not all commercial appliance bulbs
will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace a
bulb with one of the same size, wattage and
shape.
