 Unplug the refrigerator.
 The bulbs are located at the top of the 
compartment, inside the light shield. On 
some models, a screw at the front of the 
light shield will have to be removed. On 
other models, the screw is located in the 
pocket located at the back of the shield.
 To remove the light shield, on some models, 
press in on the tabs on the sides of the 
shield and slide forward and out. On other 
models, just slide the shield forward and 
out.
 After replacing the bulb with an appliance 
bulb of the same or lower wattage, replace 
the light shield and screw. When replacing 
the light shield, make sure that the tabs at 
the back of the shield fit into the slots at the 
back of the light shield housing.
 Plug the refrigerator back in.

For long vacations or absences, remove food 
and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior 
with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon 
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of 
water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the OFF 
position and shut off the water supply to the 
refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, 
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply 
system (on some models) to prevent serious 
property damage due to flooding.
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. (cont.)
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away 
from the wall. All types of floor coverings can 
be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings 
and those with embossed surfaces. 
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it 
to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the 
refrigerator in a side direction may result in 
damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make 
sure you don’t roll over the power cord or 
icemaker supply line (on some models).
Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and 
drawers by taping them securely in place to 
prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the 
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back of the 
refrigerator against the hand truck. This could 
damage the refrigerator. Handle only from the 
sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright 
position during moving.
