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 than
they actually are. The following describes the kinds of
sounds and what may be making them.
The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost
cycle begins and ends. Also, the thermostat refrigerator
control, will click when cycling on and off.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of
refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the
refrigerator.
• Your refrigerator is designed to run 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, and you may
hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• 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 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.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to
permit air flow. Cool air enters through the refrigerator
section and moves up. The air then flows through the
vents. Do not block any of these vents with food
packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be
prevented and temperature and moisture problems
may occur.

Setting the Controls
The temperature control is located on the side wall of the
refrigerator compartment. It controls the temperature in
both the refrigerator and freezer compartments (found on
some models). When you plug in the refrigerator for the
first time, set the temperature control knob to “4” .
Temperature control adjustments range from 1 (warmest
to 7 (coldest).
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely
before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before
you put food into the refrigerator. The control is set
correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like. Move
the dial one number at a time and wait 24 hours between
adjustments.
NOTE: During high humidity, moisture may form on the
outside of the cabinet. To prevent rust, dry the cabinet
and reset the temperature control to a colder setting.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator
has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
Turning the temperature control to a higher (colder)
than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
