Changing the light bulb

Electrical Shock Hazard

~tor at the main power supply. Turning the Temperature Control to the OFF position does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.

Failure to do so could result in electri- cal shock or personal injury.

To change the refrigerator light:

1.Disconnect refrigerator from power supply.

2.Reach behind the Control Panel to remove bulb.

3.Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

4.Reconnect refrigerator to power supply.

NOTE: Not all commercial appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace a bulb with one of the same size, wattage and shape.
