Your refrigerator | is designed | to run | Normal | Operation | |
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, but it is still more |
|
| |||
energy efficient than previous models. |
|
| |||
While the refrigerator is running, it is |
|
| |||
normal to hear a pulsating or high- |
|
| |||
pitched | sound. |
