4 - Operating your refrigerator

Initial start up

The refrigerator transfers heat from food placed inside 
the refrigerator to the outside air.

This process makes the rear, the sides and the area 
adjacent to the doors, particularly at initial start up, 
feel warm. This is normal.

There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of the 
freezer section. This coil cools and removes moisture 
from the air. A fan at the rear of the freezer section then 
circulates cold, dry air throughout the refrigerator.

This air circulation means that foods are refrigerated far 
more quickly than in refrigerators where the air remains 
relatively static.

Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will 
affect air circulation. (see diagram on page 5)

A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior 
of the freezer when the door is opened frequently. This 
is normal and will disappear after a few days in most 
climates.

Make sure you fully close the freezer and fresh food 
doors after you load or remove food from these 
compartments. If the doors are left partly open, a heavy 
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, 
remove it. Take care to properly close the doors and the 
frost will not reoccur.

Your new energy efficient refrigerator uses a high-speed 
compressor and other energy efficient components that 
may produce different noises to your old refrigerator. 
These sounds are normal and include:

• compressor running noise.
• air movement noise from the small fan motor.
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• a popping noise, heard during defrosting.
• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor 
starting up.

These noises are normal and not cause for alarm.

Further details can be found on page 17.

Refrigerator / Freezer operation

On a top freezer refrigerator

If food is forward of the ribs on the bottom 
of the freezer, it will keep the door open. So 
make sure food is stored behind the ribs.

On a bottom freezer refrigerator

Ensure  freezer  baskets  and  shelves  are 
pushed  completely  back  to  prevent  them 
holding the door open.
