Removing Odors From Refrigerator
- Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.
- Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
- Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior, drawers, shelves and gaskets according to the instructions (see page 25).
- Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let stand for five minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.
- Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars. Discard spoiled or expired items.
- Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers to prevent reoccurring odors.
- Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to refrigerator.
- Allow the refrigerator to cool.
- After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.
If odor is still present:
1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.
2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including doors – with crumpled sheets of black and white newspaper.
3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator compartments.
4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.
Energy Saving Tips
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.
• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to run less efficiently.
• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.
• Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that door is open.
• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator as instructed in your installation instructions.
• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instructions every three months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling performance.

Operating Sounds
Improvements in refrigeration design may produce sounds in your new refrigerator that are different or were not present in an older model. These improvements were made to create a refrigerator that is better at preserving food, is more energy efficient, and is quieter overall. Because new units run quieter, sounds may be detected that were present in older units, but were masked by higher sound levels. Many of these sounds are normal. Please note that the surfaces adjacent to a refrigerator, such as hard walls, floors and cabinetry may make these sounds seem even louder. The following are some of the normal sounds that may be noticed in a new refrigerator.
