ENERGY SAVING TIPS , CARE AND CLEANING
The following suggestions will
minimize the cost of operating your
refrigeration appliance.
1.
Do not install your appliance next to a hot
appliance (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating
air duct, or other heat sources.
2.
Install product out of direct sunlight.
3.
Ensure the front grille vents at front of
appliance beneath door are not obstructed
and kept clean to allow ventilation for the
refrigeration system to expel heat.
4.
Plug your appliance into a dedicated power
circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
5.
When initially loading your new product, or
whenever large quantities of warm contents
are placed within refrigerated storage com-
partment, minimize door openings for the next
12 hours to allow contents to pull down to
compartment set temperature.
6.
Maintaining a relatively full storage compart-
ment will require less appliance run time than
an empty compartment.
7.
Ensure door closing is not obstructed by
contents stored in your appliance.
8.
Allow hot items to reach room temperature
before placing in product.
9.
Minimize door openings and duration of door
openings.
10.
Use the warmest temperature control set
temperature that meets your personal prefer-
ence and provides the proper storage for your
stored contents.
11.
When on vacation or away from home for
extended periods, set the appliance to warm-
est acceptable temperature for the stored
contents.
12.
Set the control to the "off" position if cleaning
the appliance requires the door to be open for
an extended period of time.
Front Grille
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow
openings in front of the cabinet. At least once or
twice a year, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the
front grille area (see page 4).
CAUTION
!
SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect electrical power
from the appliance before cleaning with soap and
water.
Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with either
a mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed
with clear water. NEVER use abrasive scouring
cleaners.

water. Do NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent,
polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
Care of Appliance

door hinges or tip the appliance.

or mopping near the front of the appliance.
Damage to the grille can occur.

Periodically clean the interior of the appliance
as needed.
4.
Periodically check and/or clean the front grille
as needed.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon
as possible. Minimize the number of door openings
while the power is off so as not to adversely affect
the appliance's temperature.
Light bulb replacement
!
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE
ATTEMPTING LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT.
Failure to do so may result in an electrical
shock that could severely injure you.
Do NOT under any circumstance use a light
bulb that exceeds 25 watts!
The refrigerator uses one, 25 watt incandescent
light bulb to illuminate the interior. The light bulb is
a very reliable electrical component, but should it
not function properly, please call the dealer where
you purchased your refrigerator from for a replace-
ment light bulb. Use only an original equipment
light bulb from your dealer or Northland.
To replace the light bulb, disconnect power to the
unit. Unscrew the old light bulb located behind
the display housing at the top of the unit. Set the
old light bulb aside. Screw the new light bulb into
place. Reconnect power to the unit. Check to see
if the light bulb operates properly to complete the
installation.
The light bulb is not covered by your warranty. A
replacement bulb can be obtained from your dealer
or from Northland.
