REFRIGERATOR USE
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.
For your convenience, your refrigerator control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
A, Screws
Replace the Base Grille:
1. Open the refrigerator door.
2. Position the base grille so that the holes are aligned with the
refrigerator and replace the screws.
_=:_ZZ_ Corder
Adjusting Controls
The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal usage. The control is set correctly when
beverages are as cold as you like.
If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours
between adjustments and then recheck the temperature.
To make the refrigerator colder, adjust the control to the next
higher setting. To make the refrigerator less cold, adjust the
control to the next lower setting.
REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

Clean the refrigerator about once a month to prevent odors from
building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your refrigerator:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, etc.
3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
• To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs. to 1 qt.
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
4. Wash exterior with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh
cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner & Polish. To order the cleaner, see the
"Accessories" section.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only?
• Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces
or door gaskets. Ifaccidental contact does occur, clean
plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm
water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
5. Replace the removable parts.
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind
the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as
every other month. This may help save energy.
• Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille."
• Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
• Replace the base grille.
7. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
To change the light bulb:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Slide the light shield towards the tab.
3. Press the tab down and lift the opposite end of the light
shield up.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow
these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Unplug the refrigerator.
3. Clean the refrigerator. See "Cleaning."
4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it
open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Unplug the refrigerator.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.

the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Trythe solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your refrigerator will not operate
• Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a greunded •
3 prong outlet.
• Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
• Is the Refrigerator Control turned to the OFF position? •
See "Using the Control."
The lights do not work
• Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
• Is a light bulb loose in the socket? Unplug refrigerator or
disconnect power. Gently remove the bulb and reinsert. Plug
in refrigerator or reconnect power.
• Has a light bulb burned out? Replace with an appliance
bulb of the same wattage, size, and shape. See "Changing
the Light Bulb." •
There is water in the defrost drain pan
• Is the refrigerator defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is
normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
• Is it more humid than normal? Expect that the water in the
defrost pan will take longer to evaporate. This is normal when
it is hot or humid.
The motor seems to runtoo much
Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal
outdoor temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40%
to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run
even more of the time.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the
refrigerator. It is normal for the motor to run longer in order to
cool the refrigerator back down.
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food
organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as
the food is removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
Is the door closed completely? Push the doors firmly shut.
If they will not shut all the way, see "The door will not close
completely" later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty? This prevents air transfer and
makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See
"Cleaning."
Temperature is too warm
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the refrigerator will
warm when this occurs. In order to keep the refrigerator cool,
try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once,
keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door
as soon as the food is removed.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the
refrigerator. It can take several hours for the refrigerator to
return to the normal temperature.
• Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
• Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not
install the refrigerator behind a cabinet door or block the base
grille.
There is interior moisture buildup
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to
get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep
food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as
soon as the food is removed. When the door is opened,
humidity from the room air enters the refrigerator. The more
often the door is opened, the faster humidity builds up,
especially when the room itself is very humid.
• Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
refrigerator when the air is humid.
• Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is
securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before
placing in the refrigerator.
• Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
The door is difficult to open
• Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the gasket and the
surface that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the
gasket following cleaning.
The door will not close completely
• Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange
containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less
space.
• Are the shelves out of position? Put the shelves back into
their correct positions. See "Refrigerator Use" for more
information.
• Is the gasket sticking? Clean the gasket and the surface
that it touches. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gasket
following cleaning.
