Your new freezer 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, such as 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 freezer 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 freezer 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.

Your freezer will sound louder than regular refrigerators. This is due to the high fan speed. This speed is necessary to keep the freezer operating properly in the harsher environments of most garages.

•You may hear a hissing noise after you close the lower compartment door. This is due to the colder temperature of the lower compartment and the stronger seal on the door.

•You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the upper and lower compartments. 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 freezer.

•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 freezer.

•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.

In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit airflow between the lower and upper sections. As shown in the illustratf"'_, the majority of the cold air enters the lower

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

For your convenience, your freezer controls are preset at the

factory with the upper compartment set in refrigeration mode and the lower compartment controls set at the mid-point. When you first install your freezer, make sure that the controls are still preset to the factory settings.

Upper Compartment Control

The upper compartment of your freezer can function as either a refrigerator or a freezer. The control in the upper compartment allows you to switch it from Refrigerator Mode to Freeze mode.

Ensure that the correct mode is selected depending upon your storage requirements.
