Normal Sounds
Your new refrigerator or freezer may make sounds that your old
one did not make. You might be concerned about these sounds
because they are new to you. 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.
Your unit 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 unit to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a
pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans
as they adjust to optimize performance.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator or freezer compartment. The fan speed may
increase as you open the doors or add warm food.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored on top of the unit.
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 unit.
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.
OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper
airflow in the refrigerator or freezer. As shown in the illustration,
cool air enters from the unit wall and moves down. The air then
recirculates through the vent near the bottom.
7
5. Make sure the freezer is steady. If the freezer seems unsteady or
rolls forward when the door is pulled open, adjust the brake feet.
To Steady the Freezer:
Open the freezer door. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn both brake
feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet are snug
against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, continue to adjust
the brake feet by half turns of the screw until the freezer does
not roll forward when the door is opened.
6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the
leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into
place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper
airflow in the freezer. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters from
the freezer 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.
Using the Control
The temperature control is located at the top front of the freezer
compartment.
Temperature Control
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory.
When you first install your freezer, check that the control is still set to
the recommended setting as shown.
Recommended setting is the center snowflake.
IMPORTANT:
The recommended setting is designed to maintain the temperature
at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal operating conditions.
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen food.
When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run constantly
until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or 8 hours (or longer),
depending on room temperature and number of times the freezer
door is opened. After the freezer is cooled, the compressor will turn
on and off as needed to keep the freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The
freezer’s design and main function is to remove heat from packages
and air space inside the freezer. The heat is transferred to the room
air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Adjusting Control
If you need to adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment, press
the TEMP SETTING button to display the desired temperature setting
from the snowflake on the left (least cold) to the snowflake on the right
(coldest).
NOTE: Except when starting the freezer, do not adjust the control more
than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the
temperature to stabilize.
Cooling On/Off
Your freezer will not cool when cooling is turned off.
To turn cooling off, press and hold the TEMP SETTING button for
3 seconds. In the off condition, none of the lights on the control panel
will be illuminated. The main freezer light bulb will still operate.
To turn cooling on, press and hold the TEMP SETTING button for
3 seconds. When cooling is on, the control panel lights will be
illuminated.
Fast Freeze
Use this feature before adding large amounts of unfrozen food. For the
best food quality, do not exceed 3 lbs (1,361 g) per cu. ft (28.32 L) of
freezer space.
To activate Fast Freeze, press the TEMP SETTING button until all the
snowflake positions are illuminated simultaneously.
The freezer will remain in the Fast Freeze setting for 24 hours after the
extra-low temperature is reached. Once the time has expired, the
freezer will return to the previous temperature setting. Fast Freeze may
be manually turned off by pressing the TEMP SETTING button to select
the desired temperature setting from the snowflake on the left (least
cold) to the snowflake on the right (coldest).
Over Temperature Alert (on some models)
The Over Temperature Alert lets you know if the freezer temperature
has risen to 19°F (-7°C) or higher. This alert feature will sound a
continuous alert tone and repeatedly flash a red light on the control
panel. The tone can be turned off by pressing the TEMP SETTING
button on the control panel once. As you press the TEMP SETTING
button, the red light will then also change from flashing to continuously
illuminated. The red light will remain illuminated until the freezer
temperature falls below 19°F (-7°C).
NOTE: If the red light on the control panel is repeatedly flashing, but the
alert tone is not sounding, this means that an over temperature
condition has occurred but the freezer temperature has since returned
to below 19°F (-7°C). To turn off the red light indicator for this condition,
press the TEMP SETTING button on the control panel once.
OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
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.
Unlock the casters, roll the unit into the final position, and
relock the casters. Plug the refrigerator or freezer into a
3 prong outlet.
NOTE: If installing your refrigerator or freezer on an unlevel
floor, shims may be required to prevent the unit from rolling.
13. Place Unit In Final Location
WARNING

you like, but the Assorted setting should be correct for normal
household usage.
When the refrigerator is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the refrigerator is cooled. It may take up to
6 or 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and
the number of times the refrigerator door is opened. After the
refrigerator is cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as
needed to keep the refrigerator at the proper temperature.
The outside of your refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal.
The refrigerator’s design and main function is to remove

NOTE: Some LED replacement bulbs are not recommended
for wet/damp environments. The refrigerator and freezer
compartments are considered to be wet/damp environments.
If using a brand of LED bulb other than the recommended
LED bulb, before installation, read and follow all instructions
on the LED packaging.
4. Replace the light shield by inserting the tabs on the shield into
the liner holes on each side of the light assembly. Slide the
shield toward the front until it locks into place.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the light shield, do not force the
shield beyond the locking Point.
5. Replace the hardware that holds the shield in place.
6. Plug in the appliance or reconnect power.
If an incandescent bulb does not illuminate when the refrigerator
and/or freezer door is opened, replace with like bulb using the
same procedure outlined above. Replace burned out bulb with
only incandescent bulb(s) of the same size, shape and wattage
(maximum 40 W) designed for household appliances.
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door closed
to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, consume or can
perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If you choose to leave the refrigerator or freezer on while you’re
away, use up any perishables and freeze other items.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator or freezer off before you
leave, follow these steps:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator or freezer.
2. Turn the control to the off position. See the “Using the
Controls” section.
3. Clean the refrigerator or freezer, wipe it, and dry well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator or freezer to a new home,
follow these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator or freezer.
2. Turn the control to the off position. See the “Using the
Controls” section.
3. Unplug the refrigerator or freezer.
4. Empty water from the defrost pan.
5. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
7. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the unit
cabinet.
8. Unlock the casters to roll away the unit.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the “Installing Your Refrigerator or Freezer” section for preparation
instructions.
2. Unplug the refrigerator or freezer or disconnect power.
3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
4. 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).
5. Replace removable parts.
6. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.
Painted Metal: Wash exterior door with a microfiber cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water. For all other exterior surfaces, wash
with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm
water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or cleaners designed
for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
7. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save
energy.
Open the refrigerator or freezer door and remove the base
grille by removing two Phillips head screws and pulling the
grille toward you.
Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with
the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille
into place. Reinstall the screws.
8. Plug in the refrigerator or freezer or reconnect the power.
9. Set the temperature control to desired setting. See the “Using
the Controls” sections.
Auto Defrost Freezer
Auto-defrost means that you will not have to defrost your freezer.
Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and
depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically
warms up enough to melt the frost, and it then flows down to the
drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is evaporated.
