Crisper Light

•If necessary, remove the top crisper drawer for easier access to the crisper light shield. Remove the light shield by lifting the ends out of the brackets as shown.

Replace the light shield by inserting the ends into the brackets. If necessary, replace the top crisper drawer.

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors closed (depending on your model) 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 Ibs (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.

Upper Freezer Light

•Remove the light shield by squeezing the sides of the light shield in toward the center while pulling the shield forward as shown.

Replace the light shield by fitting the tabs into the slotted holes in the freezer liner. Push in the shield until it snaps into place.

Depending on your model, remove the top freezer basket or top freezer basket shelf. Remove light shield by removing the

Phillips screw on the top of the shield. Carefully rotate the shield until the left tab can be gently pulled from the freezer wall.

•Replace the light shield by inserting the left tab into the freezer wall. Align top tab with screw hole and replace screw.
