Adjust the Door
1. Locate the two front leveling legs taped among the packing
materials.
2. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the
refrigerator. The back of the refrigerator rests on two fixed
supports.
3. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off of the
floor.
NOTE: If your model is equipped with rollers, the front legs
should be lowered enough to lift the rollers off of the floor to
ensure the refrigerator does not roll forward when the door is
opened.
■
Place a leveling tool on top of the refrigerator first side to
side, then front to back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise
a corner. Turn leg clockwise to lower a corner.
4. Repeat Step 3 until refrigerator is level.
5. After refrigerator is fully loaded with food, recheck with level
as in Step 3.
Normal Sounds
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds
seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and
what may be making them.
■
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
■
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator compartment. The fan speed may increase as
you open the doors or add warm food.
■
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
■
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle
may cause a sizzling sound.
■
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
■
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a
popping noise.
■
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
■
You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper
airflow in the refrigerator. As shown in the illustration, cool air
enters through the refrigerator wall and moves down. The air then
recirculates through the vent near the bottom.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents
are blocked, airflow will be restricted, and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap
or cover foods tightly.
Using the Control
Setting the Control
For your convenience, your refrigerator control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
NOTE: To turn your refrigerator OFF, turn the refrigerator control to
the setting shown. Your refrigerator will not cool when the
refrigerator control is set to the OFF position.
