Normal Sounds
Your new precision refrigerator may make sounds that are not
familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces
like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they
actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might
be new to you 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 precision 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 precision refrigerator.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
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.
WARNING: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!
Preparing the Precision Refrigerator for Storage
If the refrigerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved
to another place, it will be necessary to defrost the unit and dry the
interior.
1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply by removing
the power plug from the wall socket.
2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent
mold, mildew and unpleasant smells.
CAUTION: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have
children, you may want to take additional precautions such as
removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the
refrigerator!
IMPORTANT:
• Do not touch the power plug
when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by
pulling on the plug.
