and pulling forward while turning it slightly to one side. If
necessary, remove top crisper drawer to gain access to the
crisper light shield.
■ Replace the light shield by inserting the tabs on one end into
the slotted holes in the refrigerator or freezer liner. Then,
carefully bend the shield at the center to insert the tabs on
the other end.

■ Remove the light shield by squeezing the sides of the light
shield in toward the center while pulling the shield forward as

top freezer basket shelf. Remove light shield by removing the
Phillips screw on the top of the shield. Carefully rotate the
shield until the left tab can be gently pulled from the freezer
wall.
■ Replace the light shield by inserting the left tab into the
freezer wall. Align top tab with screw hole and replace screw.
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator
doors closed to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
■ Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
■ Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot
(28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to
4 days.
■ If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or
can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you’re
away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■ Raise wire shutoff arm to OFF (up) position or move the
switch to the OFF (right) setting.
■ Shut off water supply to the ice maker.
3. Empty the ice bin.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF
(right) setting.
3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control or
Refrigerator Control to OFF. See the “Using the Controls”
section.
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
