Care and Maintenance

BULB REPLACEMENT
• Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Make sure the light bulb is cool before attempting to remove.
• Remove the screw that secures the light bulb cover.
• Squeeze the tabs at the top and bottom of the light bulb cover simultaneously and pull outward to
remove the light bulb cover.
• Unscrew the bulb.
• Replace with a 10 watt bulb that is the same shape and size.
• Reassemble the light bulb cover and screw.
Note: To ensure that you purchase the correct replacement bulb, we recommend removing the old
bulb from the unit and taking it with you to purchase a replacement to aid in matching the size and
shape.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
• Turn the temperature control to the "OFF" or "0" position, unplug the unit and remove the food and
interior accessories.
• Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the baskets and interior accessories with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Caution: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
refrigerator and/or freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is
going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
VACATION TIME
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the
power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door
open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs
(some models), turn them all the way into the base.
If the unit is placed on its back or side during transportation, ensure that it is allowed to stand upright
and undisturbed for a minimum of 4 hours before plugging in to allow the coolant to settle.
DISPOSING OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE
The refrigerator system of the appliance is fi lled with refrigerant and insulating substances which
should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorized service agent or
specialized servicing centre. If you are unable to locate one, contact your local authorities or your
distributor. Be careful not to damage any tubes that may be on the rear wall of the appliance.
