c)If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume up 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 safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

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, shape, and wattage.

To change the refrigerator light:

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Reach behind the Control Panel and unscrew the bulb.

3.Replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.

4.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

To change freezer light: (on some models)

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Reach behind light shield to remove bulb.

3.Replace bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

4.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Power Interruptions

If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power company and ask how long it will be off.

1.If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both 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. (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 liters) 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 ice burns.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you’re away, use these steps to prepare your refrigerator before you leave.

1.Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

Raise ice maker arm to OFF (up) position.

Shut off water supply to the ice maker.

3.Empty the ice bin.

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

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 ice maker arm to the OFF (up) position.

3.Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control, depending on the model) to OFF. See the “Setting 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.
