Replacing Light Bulbs

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator before replacing light bulb. After replacing light bulb, connect power.

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:

•Allow light bulb to cool

•Wear gloves when replacing light bulb

•Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.

•Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including doors – with crumpled sheets of black and white newspaper.

•Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator compartments.

•Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

Energy Saving Tips

•Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.

•Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.

•Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.

•A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.

•Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.

•Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.

•Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that door is

open.
