USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit air flow. Cool air enters through the refrigerator section and moves up. The air then flows through the vents. 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.
Understanding Sounds
You May Hear
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 than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. Also, the thermostat refrigerator control, will click when cycling on and off.
•Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
•Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or
•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. | 6 |

Setting the Controls
The temperature control is located on the side wall of the refrigerator compartment. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments (found on some models). When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, set the temperature control knob to “4” . Temperature control adjustments range from 1 (warmest to 7 (coldest).

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like. Move the dial one number at a time and wait 24 hours between adjustments.
NOTE: During high humidity, moisture may form on the outside of the cabinet. To prevent rust, dry the cabinet and reset the temperature control to a colder setting.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
Turning the temperature control to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
