■
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
■
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.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to
flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the
freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator
section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as
shown.
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal,
bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and
the temperature controls will not function properly.
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. To prevent
odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Using the Controls
IMPORTANT:
■
The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer
compartment temperature.
■
Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put
food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the refrigerator
and freezer controls to a lower (colder) setting will not cool
the compartments any faster.
■
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked, before adjusting the controls.
■
The preset settings should be correct for normal household
usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as
cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
Digital Controls
For your convenience, your controls are preset at the factory.
When installing your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are
still preset to the “mid-settings” as shown. The digital control
panel is located above the ice and water dispensers and enables
you to view the temperature control set points.
NOTE: The factory recommended set point temperatures are 0°F
(-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator. The set
point temperature is stored and will automatically be restored
even after a power failure or if the refrigerator is switched off by
pressing the ON/OFF button.
To turn the refrigerator on/off:
Press and hold ON/OFF for 3 seconds.
Adjusting Digital Controls
The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to
-15°C) and 33°F to 41°F (1°C to 5°C) for the refrigerator.
To adjust set point temperatures:
Press the refrigerator or freezer up or down arrow until the
desired temperature is reached and shown on the display.
NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then
recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.
Additional Digital Control Panel Features
Control panel lock
This feature prevents anyone from inadvertently changing
settings or switching off the refrigerator.
■
To lock the control panel: Press and hold the Control Lockout
button for about 3 seconds until the LOCK symbol lights up
(yellow LED).
■
To unlock the control panel: Press and hold the Control
Lockout button for about 3 seconds until the (yellow LED)
LOCK symbol light goes off.
NOTE: If a button is pressed with the control panel lock active,
the associated LED blinks twice.
