Preparing For Vacation; Replacing The Light Bulbs - General Electric Side-by-Side 21 Bedienungsanleitung Und Installation

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or
cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution— about a tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
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.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the
refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of 15 ml
of baking soda to 1 liter of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O position and shut off the
water supply to the refrigerator.
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.

Replacing the light bulbs.

Setting the controls to 0 (off) does not remove power to the light circuit.
Your light shield will look like
one of the following:
Tabs
OR
Pocket
18
Refrigerator Compartment—Upper Light
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 light 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.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that which is
recommended, especially those that contain petroleum
distillates, can crack or damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the
extreme temperature difference may cause them to break.
Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can
cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
The chill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don't roll
over the power cord or icemaker supply line.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified
servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property
damage due to flooding.
This could damage the refrigerator. Handle only from the sides of
the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during
moving.
After replacing the bulb with an appliance
bulb of the same or lower wattage, replace
the light shield and screws (on some models).
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.
