To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:
NOTE:
Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes
some weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn them.
■
Open the refrigerator door. Use a
¹⁄₄
" hex driver to turn both brake
feet clockwise the same amount. This will raise the front of the
refrigerator. It may take several turns to allow the door to close
more easily.
5.
Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems
unsteady or rolls forward when the door is pulled open, adjust the
brake feet.
To Steady the Refrigerator:
■
Open the refrigerator door. Using a
¹⁄₄
" hex driver, turn both
brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet are
snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, continue to
adjust the brake feet by half turns of the screw until the
refrigerator does not roll forward when the door is opened.
6.
Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the
leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into
place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.
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 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.
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
from 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
The temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator
compartment.
Temperature Control
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory.
When you first install your refrigerator, check that the control is still set
to the recommended setting as shown.
Recommended setting is the center snowflake.
IMPORTANT:
■
The recommended setting is designed to maintain the temperature
at or near 37°F (3°C) under normal operating conditions.
■
Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add
food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may
spoil.
NOTE:
Adjusting the temperature set point to a colder than
recommended setting will not cool the refrigerator any faster.
