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, 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.
• If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear
a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker for each cycle.
• Your refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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.
• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed
may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.
• 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
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. On Style 2 models, this air is also
evenly distributed throughout the refrigerator compartment
through six vents on the back wall. 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 obstructed 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. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

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.
NOTE: Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a
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 the controls are still
preset as shown. The digital control panel is located at the top of
the refrigerator compartment and enables you to view the
temperature control set points.
NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for
the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.
To turn refrigerator on and view set points:
• Press and hold ON/OFF for 2 seconds.
