[] DANGER Youwillbekilledorseriouslyinjuredifyoudon'tfollowinstructions.

WARNING Youcan be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

CAUTION Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate

injury, or product damage only.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the change of injury and tell you what can happen if the

instructions are not followed.

kvAv/ d

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to

persons when using your product, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the

following. Read all instructions before using this

appliance:

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out

from the outlet.

• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords

that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along

its length or at either the plug or connector end.

• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage it in any way.

• Do not crush or damage the water line.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors

or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the

refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They

could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure

themshelves.

• Keep fingers out of 'pinch point' areas; clearances

between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be careful when you open the doors when children are

in the area.

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any

repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse

box in order to avoid contact with a live filament.

(A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced).

NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF

position does not remove power to the light circuit.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they

may break when frozen, causing damage.

• The refrigerator-freezer should be positioned so that

the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection if an

accident happens.

• For personal safety, this appliance must be properly

grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked

by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance

with the 'Attention Installer' instructions that were taped

to the front of the refrigerator.

• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the

cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands

are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold

surfaces.

• In refrigerator with automatic icemakers, avoid contact

with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with

the heating element that releases the cubes.

DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice

making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely. The United States Department of Agriculture

in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

"...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed

if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold below

40 °F (4 °C)."

"Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any

off-odor or off-color should not be frozen and should not

be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the

odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of

it. The food may be dangerous to eat."

"Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating

quality of foods, particulary fruits, vegetables and prepared

foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than

that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as

possible to save as much of their quality as you can."

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduce physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or

lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance

by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of

the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous.., even if they will sit for "just a few days".

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please

follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old

Refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children

may not easily climb inside.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that

used CFCs (chlorofiuorocarbons). CFCs are believed to

harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away your

old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is

removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If

you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can

be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions

of environmental legislation. This appliance contains

fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), and is made of parts and

materials which are reusable and /or recyclable. All the

important materials should be sent to the collection

center of waste material and can be reused after rework

(recycling). To recycle, please contact your local agency.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the

circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure

the outlet is properly grounded.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an

extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an

extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a

UL-listed (in the United States), 3-wire grounding type

appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and

outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be

15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance

needed for the back of the refrigerator. If the supply cord

is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or

its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order

to avoid any hazard.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

115 volts, 60Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch

or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it

is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third

(Ground) prong from the power cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning,

or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat,

Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the

model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from

the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the

refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control

(thermostat, refrigerator control or freezer control,

depending on the model) to the desired setting.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install the

refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your

refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warning

type labels or the model and serial number label.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area

briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also

be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid

dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with

warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,

flammable fluids or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or

glue. These products can damage the surface of your

refrigerator. For more information, see the Important

CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the

Automatic Ice Maker and/or Water Dispenser features

are available on your product.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not warranted by the

refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or seller. Follow

these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of

expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and

lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified

plumber to correct water hammer before installing the

water supply line to the refrigerator

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up

the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water

line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O

(off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power

drill) during installation, be sure the device is double-

insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard

of electric shock, or is battery-powered.

All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

NOTE: Wear eye protection.

• If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, the water line

installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or

icemaker manufacturer or seller. Follow next instruction

carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water

damage.

•If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure

to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum

of 40 to 60 PSI (2.8 kg.f/cm 2- 4.2 kg.f/cm 2, less than

2-3 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system

is less than 21 PSI (1.5 kg.f/cm 2, more than 4 sec to fill

a cup of 7 oz capacity):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if

necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system

to refill after heavy usage.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

•Copper Tubing, 1/4"(6.35 mm) outer

diameter to connect the refrigerator JJ

to the water supply. Be sure both JJ

ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need, measure

the distance from the water valve on the back of the

refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet

(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8

feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm]

diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the

wall after installation.

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet

(2.4 m) as described above.

•A cold water supply.The water pressure must be

between 20 and 120 PSI (1.4 bar and 8.2 bar) on

models without a water filter and between

40 and 120 PSI (2.8 bar and 8.2 bar) on models with

a water filter.

• Power drill.

•1/2"(12.7 ram) or

Adjustable Wrench.

•Flat head-and Phillips=

screwdrivers,

• Two 1/. (6.35 mm) outer diameter

compression nuts and 2

Ferrules (sleeves) to

connect the copper tubing to

the shutoff valve and the

refrigerator water valve.

°If your existing copper water

line has a flared fitting at the

end, you will need an

adapter (available at

plumbing supply stores) to

connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can

cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use

a compression fitting.

•Shutoff valve to connect to

the cold water line. The ,._ _"_

shutoff valve should have a

water inlet with a minimum

inside diameter of 5/32"

(3.96 mm) at the point of connection to the

COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are

included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing,

make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your

local plumbing codes.

• If the issue about water pressure from reverse osmosis

remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber. 13

iNSTALLATiON iNSTRUCTiONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used

drinking water line. Only connect to the potable water

provision.

1. SHUTOFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on

the line.

2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that

is easily accessible. It is best to connect

into the side of a vertical water pipe.

When it is necessary to connect into a

horizontal water pipe, make the

connection to the top or side, eather

than at the bottom, to avoid drawing

off any sediment from the water pipe.

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1¼.(6.35 mm) hole in the water

pipe (even if using a self- _1

piercing valve) using a I I

sharp bit, Remove any burrs _ I

resulting from drilling the _ I I

hole in the pipe. Take care

not to allow water to drain

into the drill. Failure to drill a 1¼"(6.35 mm) hole

may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic

tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49499 or Cross Link

Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with

the pipe clamp.

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION NEXT

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow

between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown

in the illustration below, cool air enters through the

refrigerator of the freezer section and moves up. Most of

the air then flows through the freezer section vents and

recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air

enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off dust

accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,

shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed

together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours

before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in

the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.

Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

CONTROL PANEL FEATURES

(Identify your Control type)

Press the button for the desired function to review and

select other settings.

Type 1

•Do not block any of these vents with food packages.

If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interruped 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

thorougly clean both sections to eliminate odors.

To prevent odor transfer and drying out food, wrap or

cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide

section for details.)

Note: If you

close the

refrigerator door,

you may see the

freezer door may

open and close

again due to

pressure from

internal air flow.

Type 2

Refrigerator and Freezer controls

It's recommended to mantain the initial temperatures

setting (middle) by pressing Fridge Temp Graphic and

Freezer Temp Graphic.

NOTE: When changing control settings, wait 24 hours

before making additional adjustments. After 24 hours,

adjust the compartments temperatures as desired. The

more lit bars, the colder the refrigerator and freezer will

be. See Figure 1 for reference.

Figure 1

Display Off Mode

Icemaker operation

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water

the icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing.

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to

begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the

water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler

arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the

icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become

cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.

Personal Injury Hazard

Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector

mechanism, or with the heating element that releases

the cubes. DO NOTplace fingers or hands on the

automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator

is plugged in.

A newly-installed refrigerator may take

12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely

before making final adjustments. It is best to wait 24

hours before doing this. The initial settings mentioned in

CONTROL PANEL FEATURES section should be

correct for normal household refrigerator use. The

controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as

you like and when ice cream is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for

the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections).

The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will

run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control

adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the

refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower

temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer

compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or

freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator. Then wait 24

hours before checking the freezer temperature. If it is

too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.

Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between

adjustments.

Cheese •

Keep opened butter in a covered

dish or closed compartment.

When storing an extra supply,

wrap in freezer packaging and

freeze.

Store in the original wrapping until

you are ready to use it. Once

opened, rewrap tightly in plastic

wrap or aluminum foil.

Milk • Wipe milk cartons. For best

storage, place milk on interior

shelf, not on door shelf.

Eggs

Vegetables with • Place in plastic bags or plastic

skins (carrots, container and store in crisper.

peppers)

Fish • Use fresh fish and shellfish the

same day purchased.

Leftovers • Cover leftovers with plastic wrap

or aluminum foil. Plastic

containers with tight lids can

also be used.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or

a reliable cookbook.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.

When you close and seal the package, it must not allow

air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food

odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and

also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

•Rigid plastic containers with "tight-fitting lids"

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Specied freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper

freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers

• Non-polyethylene plastic containers

• Containers without tight lids

• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

[] CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic

food containers in the freezer compartment. They

may break if they freeze.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of

food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer

than will freeze within 24 hours [no more than 2 to 3 Ibs

of food per cubic foot (0.9 to 1.35 kg per cubic meter) of

freezer space]. Leave enough space in the freezer for

air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave

enough room at the front so the door around packages

can close tightly.

Foord storage times will vary according to the quality and

type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight

and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice

crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply

means that moisture in the food and air inside the

package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for

30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods

before freezing saves energy.

WATER AND ICE DISPENSER

Your refrigerator has a mechanism that can dispense cool

water and ice cubes without opening the door.

Explosion Hazard

Use non-flammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost

automatically. However, clean both sections about once

a month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS

Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergent,

bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic

refrigerator parts.

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in

warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.

PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)

Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or

flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the

material. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild

detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all

surfaces thoroughly.

BACK COVER

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS

oUnplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

oRemove all removable parts, such as shelves,

crispers, etc. Refer to sections in Using Your

Refrigerator for removal instructions.

oUse a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent

in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

oHand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.

oPlug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

OUTSIDE

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps provide rust

protection. Do not wax plastic parts. Wax painted metal

surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax (or auto

paste wax). Apply wax with a dean, soft cloth.

Do not use wax stainless steel exteriors. Use a product

specially designed for polishing stainless steel

appliances, or clean with a soft cloth or clean sponge

and a mild detergent dissolved in warm water. Dry

thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Avoid door surface contact with chemical

products that contain Phosphate or Chlorine.

INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to warm up so

cloth will not stick)

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the

refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water.

Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g

soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is

completely dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces of

the refrigerator.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Before you begin, either unplug the refrigerator or

turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: Back cover should only be removed by a

qualified technician.

Clean the vents on the

back cover. Use a vacuum

cleaner with the brush

attachment, at least twice a

year to keep your

refrigerator working

efficiently.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

Electrical Shock Hazard

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, either unplug

the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker

or fuse box.

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 refrigerator and freezer lamp:

1. Unplug the refrigerator.

2. Remove the cover lamp by pressing upward on bottom

3. Remove the bulb with a counterclockwise movement.

4. Replace with 40 watt (maximum) appliance bulb.

5. Reinstall cover lamp and plug again the refrigerator.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep all

refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and

frozen.

2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:

a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen

food locker•

b) Place 2 Ibs. (1 kg) of dry ice in the freezer for

every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space• This will

keep the food frozen for two to four days. While

handling dry ice, wear gloves to protect your hands

from frostbite•

Suffocation Hazard

When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation.

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). When it

vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness,

light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by

suffocation. Open a window and do not breathe

the vapors.

c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,

consume or dispose of food at once.

REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer

stays cold longer than a partially filled one. If you see

that food contains ice crystals, it may be adversely

affected. If the condition of the food is poor, or if you

feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely.

The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and

Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

•..You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if

they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold (below

39 °F).

...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any

off-odor or off-color should not be frozen and should not be

eaten.

Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color

of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food

may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating

quality of foods, particulary fruits, vegetables and prepared

foods•

The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of

many other foods• Use refrozen foods as soon as possible

to save as much of their quality as you can.

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

If you choose to leave the refrigerator ON while you

are away, follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator

before you leave.

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. Empty the ice bin.

3. Turn OFF the Icemaker. NOTE: If the ambient

temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified

service technician drain the water supply system (on

some models) to prevent serious property damage

due to possible flooding from ruptured water lines or

connections.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator OFF before you

leave, follow these steps.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and empty ice

bin.

2. Unplug refrigerator.

3. Clean refrigerator, wipe, 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.

WHEN YOU MOVE

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 and pack all

frozen food in dry ice.

2. Unplug refrigerator.

3. Clean refrigerator, wipe, and dry well.

4. Empty water from the defrost pan.

WHEN SHOULD YOU SET THE ICEMAKER

POWER SWITCH TO OFF

•When the water supply will be shut off for several

hours.

•When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a

minute or two.

" When the refrigerator will not be used for several

days.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker

fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON

position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked

up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power

switch to OFF position.

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the ON position

before the water line is connected can damage the

icemaker.

•You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin

and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY

HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old

one did not 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 list describes the kinds of

sounds and what may be making them.

REFRIGERATOR DOES NOT OPERATE

Check if...

oThe defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost

cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or

refrigerator control, depending on the model)will also

click when cycling on and off.

o Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant,

the water line, or items stored on top of the

refrigerator.

oYour 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.

You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the

air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

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.
