Leveling and Door Adjustment
Your refrigerator has two adjustable levelers, one on each side, at
the base of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or
if you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the level and tilt
of the refrigerator.
1. Turn the leveler to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator
or to the right to lower that side. It may take several turns to
level the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight o the levelers. This makes it
easier to turn the levelers.
2. Once the refrigerator is level from side to side, raise the front
levelers so that the refrigerator is tilted slightly
(approximately 1/2") downward to the rear. The doors will
close more easily and the freezer door will remain closed
whenever you close the refrigerator door.
3. Open both doors again to make sure that they close as easily
as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear
by turning both levelers to the right. It may take several more
turns.
NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, make the same
adjustment to each side.
4. Using a level, make sure the refrigerator is still level from side
to side. Readjust if necessary.
Normal Sounds
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 oor, 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 ll the
ice maker for each cycle.
■ Your refrigerator is designed to run more eciently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high eciency 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 ow 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 owing 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 airow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the
illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer
section and moves up. Most of the air then ows through the
freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer oor. The
rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
NOTE: Depending on your model, the refrigerator may have
either a Normal ow or Multiow air system.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents
are blocked, airow will be restricted 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.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
