In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit airflow
between the lower and upper sections. As shown in the

Your new freezer 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 floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds
and what may be making them.
Yourfreezer 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 freezer 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.
Your freezer will sound louder than regular refrigerators. This
is due to the high fan speed. This speed is necessary to keep
the freezer operating properly in the harsher environments of
most garages.
You may hear a hissing noise after you close the lower
compartment door. This is due to the colder temperature of
the lower compartment and the stronger seal on the door.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the upper and lower compartments. 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 freezer.
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 freezer.
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.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. Ifthe vents
are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. Toprevent
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
For your convenience, your freezer controls are preset at the
factory with the upper compartment set in refrigeration mode and
the lower compartment controls set at the mid-point. When you
first install your freezer, make sure that the controls are still preset
to the factory settings.
Upper Compartment Control
The upper compartment of your freezer can function as either a
refrigerator or a freezer. The control in the upper compartment
allows you to switch it from Refrigerator Mode to Freeze mode.
Ensure that the correct mode is selected depending upon your
storage requirements.
