Normal Sounds
Temperature Alarm
Door Ajar Alarm
If the interior temperature is higher than 73°F (23°C), “HI” is shown on the temperature control panel and the
temperature alarm will sound continuously after one (1) hour. This indicates that the inner temperature is too
high. If the inner temperature is lower than 25°F (-4°C), “LO” is shown on the temperature display panel and
the temperature alarm will sound continuously after fifteen mintues. If one of these situations occurs please
reference the troubleshooting section found in this manual or contact Avallon for support.
This refrigerator includes a door ajar alarm, which will sound if the door is open for more than three (3) minutes.
Leaving the door open for extended periods of time will cause poor cooling performance and may shorten the
life of the refrigerator. Keep the doors closed as much as possible.
Warning: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!
!
Defrosting
Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient conditions.
However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the
more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to
minimize frost build-up.
If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use
a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.
Your new refrigerator may make noise during normal operation. Most of these sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.
The following describes several sounds you may hear and what may be making them:
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the
refrigerator can also make noises.
• The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
