Kenmore 10653394300, 10653392300, 10653384300 Refrigerator USE, Rotary Controls on some models

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, such as the floor, wails, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

•If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker for each cycle.

Your refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator and freezer comparfments. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.

Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.

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.

REFRIGERATOR USE

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the

freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator

section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as shown.

f

Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal, bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and the temperature controls will not function properly.

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 from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Rotary Controls (on some models)

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the factory. When installing your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset to the "mid-settings" as shown.

IMPORTANT:

•Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR Control is set to OFE

•The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid- setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.
