Initial start-up 9
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new
refrigerator .
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside
to the outside air . This operation makes the back and sides
of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm – which
is normal .
A cooling coil is located behind the rear wall of the freezer
section . This coil cools and removes moisture from the air
inside .
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator,
as it affects the efficient circulation . If the door is opened
frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the
freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few
days .If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy
frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed .
Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor,
along with other energy-efficient components, which may
make unusual sounds . These sounds simply indicate your
refrigerator is working how it should . They include:
• Compressor running noises;
• Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
• A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
• A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting;
and
• A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.
