Freezer and Crisper Lights

■Remove the light shield by grasping the sides and squeezing in toward the center. Once the side hooks of shield are free from the freezer or crisper 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 the side hooks are in place, snap the front tab into the slotted hole.

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 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.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Your refrigerator will not operate

■Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

■Is the refrigerator or freezer control turned to the OFF position? Refer to the “Using the Controls” section.

■Is the refrigerator defrosting? Recheck to see if the refrigerator is operating in 30 minutes. Your refrigerator will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.

■Is the refrigerator not cooling? For models with digital controls, turn the unit OFF then ON again to reset. See the “Using the Controls” section. If this does not correct the problem, call for service.
