Adjust the Door
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable legs, one on each side. The back of the refrigerator rests on two fixed supports.
1.Adjust the front legs enough to lift the cabinet up off of the floor.
NOTE: If your model is equipped with rollers, the front legs should be lowered enough to lift the rollers off the floor so the refrigerator does not roll forward when the door is opened.
2.Place a leveling tool on top of the refrigerator first side to side, then front to back. Turn the leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn the leg clockwise to lower a corner.
3.Repeat Step 2 until refrigerator is level.
4.After refrigerator is fully loaded with food, recheck with level as in Step 2.
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, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

■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
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the refrigerator. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the refrigerator wall and moves down. The air then recirculates through the vent near the bottom.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be restricted, and temperature and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
