I Electrical Shock Hazard I

Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the main electric power supply to the refrigerator before changing a bulb. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or iniunr.

Check the door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the refrrgerator to be sure of a good seal.

Clean dust and lint from the condenser coils every other month.

Open the doors as seldom as possible. Decide what you need before you o;jerr the door. Remove everything you need at one time. Organize and label food so you will not have to search for items you want. Close door immediately after you remove food items.

Store food in the refrigerator and freezer so that air movement is not blocked.

Normal operating sounds

You can expect to hear the following sounds when your refrigerator-freezer is operating:

. Water sounds as water gurgles through tubing for a few minutes after refrigerator stops running. YOU may also hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan.

. Operating sounds from the high- efficiency compressor and motor. It may run longer than your older refrigerator.

Do not expect your freezer to quick- freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours. (No more than 2 or 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space.) Leave enough space for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly. Storage times will vary according to the quality of the food, type of packaging or wrap used (air and moisture proof), and storage temperatures which should be 0°F(-17S”C).
