Interior Light

The interior light is located at the top of the fresh food compartment. The light will turn on when the fresh food compartment door isopened and off when the door is closed. Power to the light is activated when the refrigerator is turned on and deactivated when the refrigerator is turned off.

To replace the light bulb, disconnect the 12 volt DC from the rear of the refrigerator. Remove the light cover by sliding it towards the rear of the fresh food compartment. Remove the bulb from the light bracket. Replace the bulb with a GE #214-2 bulb (use only the recommended replacement bulb), which can be purchased from most retail automotive cen- ters. Re-install light cover. Reconnect 12 volt DC.

Door Handle

The refrigerator door handles incorporate a latch which insures complete closure of the doors.

The handle is equipped with a storage latch which enables the doors to be left partially open to prevent build-up of odor during extended refrigerator shut-down periods.

Do not use storage latch as a travel latch. Using storage latch as a travel latch allows doors to be partially open.

To use the storage latch, open the door approximately 1/2 inch and slide the storage latch into the cut-out on the strike plate.

To open the door, rotate the handle away from the refrigerator. When closing, push the door closed until an audible click heard, indicating the door is latched.
