14. Replace the hinge cover and
screw cover (now on the

CHANGING THE INTERNAL LIGHT
•
Before beginning to replace the bulb, turn the thermostat
knob to 0 and unplug the refrigerator.
•
Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the light bulb
cover.
•
Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
•
Replace it with a new, 10W SES bulb of the same size.
•
Put the light bulb cover back into place and reconnect the
power supply.
•
Adjust the thermostat back to the desired setting.
ADDITIONAL TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
•
Do not let any fats come into contact with the plastic parts
of the refrigerator.
•
Glass and plastic bottles should not be placed in the chiller
compartment unless recommended by the product manu-
facturer.
•
Freeze fresh foods by packaging them correctly and placing
them in the chiller compartment, but do not place carbon-
ated beverages here.
•
Many whole foods such as radishes, bananas, pumpkins
and onions are not necessary to refrigerate.
•
During a power outage, do not open the refrigerator unless
absolutely necessary.
•
Do not store canned items, as they can expand and burst.
•
The chiller compartment is not cold enough to keep frozen
treats such as ice cream or popsicles. Those items require
a freezer.
•
Do not overfill the refrigerator, as this blocks proper circu-
lation and increases consumption of energy. Leave space
around the food to allow proper air circulation.
•
There are multiple shelves in the fridge that can be re-
moved or changed as needed to accommodate the fridge
items according to your use. However, always keep one
of the shelves installed into the lowest slot, just above the
fruit and vegetable containers.
•
Keep foods well-sealed to prevent them from drying out
and to keep odors from mixing together.

•
Store raw meat and fish on the lowest shelf to prevent
contamination.
•
When purchasing chilled food, store all chilled food togeth-
er while transporting it back from the store. Place it in the
fridge as soon as possible, before the other items.
•
Food that has been left at room temperature for a pro-
longed period can cause the food to develop bacteria.
•
To maintain temperature, only open the fridge door to
put food in or take food out. Allow hot food to cool down
before putting it into the refrigerator.
•
Ensure that bottles and food containers are clean and dry
before storing them in the refrigerator.
•
Turning the temperature control dial to the "0" position will
stop cooling but it does not cut off power to the refrigera-
tor.
•
When the appliance is not in use for a long period of time,
turn it off and disconnect it from the power supply. Empty
all food items and clean it using the instructions in this
manual. Leave the door ajar to prevent odors from being
trapped in.
