REFRIGERATOR USE REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

NormalSounds

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 flooring and surrounding structures, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

■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.

■Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items stored inside the refrigerator.

■As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

■You may hear water running into the drain pan when the refrigerator is defrosting.

■You may hear clicking sounds when the refrigerator starts or stops running.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

RefrigeratorShelves

2.Replace the shelf by inserting it into the shelf brackets. NOTE: Be sure the shelf is level.
