CARE AND CLEANING

To change the refrigerator and freezer lamp:

Remove cover by pressing upward on bottom  and rotating outward ‚ turn the bulb counterclockwise. Replace with 40 watt (maximum) appliance bulb.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

1.If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep all refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and frozen.

2.If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:

a)Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

OR

b)Place 2 lbs. (1 kg) 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. While handling dry ice, wear gloves to protect your hands from frostbite.

WARNING

c)If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or dispose of food at once.

REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer

stays cold longer than a partially filled one. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

•DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 39 °F (4 °C).

...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be frozen and should not be eaten.

Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particulary fruits, vegetables and prepared foods.

The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

If you choose to leave the refrigerator ON while you

are away, follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator before you leave.

1.Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2.Empty the ice bin.

3.Turn OFF the Icemaker. NOTE: If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualied service technician drain the water supply system (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to possible flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator OFF before you leave, follow these steps.

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator and empty ice bin.

2.Unplug refrigerator.

3.Clean refrigerator, wipe, and dry well.

4.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.

WHEN YOU MOVE

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice.

2.Unplug refrigerator.

3.Clean refrigerator, wipe, and dry well.

4.Empty water from the defrost pan.
