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 to 60-watt maximum appliance bulb.
Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer.
1. Remove the top grille, see the "Power On/Off Switch"
section.
2. Press power switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove light shield when applicable as shown.
NOTE: To clean a light shield, wash it with warm water and a
liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator
doors closed 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
two to four 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.

Vacation Care

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Holiday Mode feature which
is designed for the traveler who wishes to save additional energy.
By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain
unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights
will turn OFF.
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you're
away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press HOLIDAY MODE pad.
3. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off water
supply to the ice maker.
4. Empty the ice bin.
5. When you return from vacation, press HOLIDAY 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, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the OFF (up) position.
3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control
(or Refrigerator Control) to OFF see the "Using the Controls"
section.
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
