Storage and Maintenance of Refrigerator

Vacations

If you will be gone for a month or less, leave the controls at the usual settings.

During longer absences:

a)remove all food.

b)shut off the ice maker (if installed) and the valve where you tapped into the water line to supply the refrigerator.

c)disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical outlet.

d)remove the filter cartridge (select models) and install the filter bypass (see pages 12-13), dispose of the used cartridge. A new cartridge can be installed when the refrigerator is put back into service.

Note: Disconnecting power to the refrigerator will suspend the 12-month countdown for the water filter change reminder (select models).

e)clean and dry the refrigerator thoroughly.

f)leave the doors open to prevent odors.

Moving

When moving, follow steps a–f under Vacations. In addition, remove and carefully pack any items that are easily removable. Ship the refrigerator in an upright position with the doors taped shut and shelves secured.

Replacing a Light Bulb

CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord before replacing light bulb(s). Wear gloves as protection against replacing possible broken glass.

Always use a standard 40- or 60-watt appliance bulb when replacing a fresh food or freezer compartment bulb.

Refrigerator

There are two light bulbs located at the top of the refrigerator compartment, on the underside of the Dual Coolcontrol housing.

To replace a light bulb(s), remove the control cover from the control housing:

grasp the control cover at the two rear “finger tabs.” These are located at the upper rear of the fresh food compartment, behind the light shields.

pull down slightly to clear the retainer tabs and slide the cover forward until it is free.

replace the bulb(s) with a 60-watt, standard base appliance bulb(s).

After replacing the bulb(s), align the control cover on to the ribs on the control housing and slide it straight back until it snaps onto the retainer tabs.

Note: On select models, there is an additional light located behind the top crisper drawer. To replace see page 7.

Freezer

The freezer light is located on the back wall of the freezer compartment.

To replace:

unhook the tabs on the top of the light shield by pressing in with the thumb on the center top of the light shield.

pivot the shield down.

unscrew the bulb when cool and replace it with a standard 40-watt appliance bulb.

replace the bulb cover by pivoting it back into place and snapping the tabs into the appropriate slots.

Dispenser Light (dispenser models only)

To replace:

Locate the light bulb in the dispenser area to the left of the actuator.

Unscrew the used bulb and remove.

Replace the bulb, using a 120V, 7-watt bulb.
