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
dispenser light requires a heavy duty 10-watt bulb. All other lights
require a 40-watt appliance bulb. Replacement bulbs are
available from your dealer.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove light shield when applicable as shown.
NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and
liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

and wattage.

the freezer lining, pull down the shield.
Replace the light shield by squeezing the sides toward the
center and inserting the side hooks into the slotted holes. Once

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
4 days.
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.
