Replacing the Light Bulb.

When the light bulb needs replacing, you will find you can reach it easily without removing anything. To remove the light bulb, first unplug the refrigerator. Then, reach behind the control console. You can feel the bulb. Remove it. Replace the bulb with a PO-watt appli-

ance bulb available from most grocery, hardware or variety stores.

Push the lab to Clear the Cover

Removing the Crispers and Crisper Covers.

To remove the crispers, slide them out until they stop. Lift the front a little and slide them the rest of the way out.

Each cover is held in place by two pegs at the back and two notched tabs in the front. Press the tabs out of the way to lift the front. Lift the back off the pegs.

To put the covers back, replace the center leg. Replace each cover by first fitting the back notches over the pegs. Then push the front down into the notched tabs.

The center leg can be made shorter or longer to help level the crisper covers, if necessary. Turn the leg clockwise to make it longer.

Turn it counter-clockwise to shorten it.
