Sounds you may hear...

YOUr

new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t.

Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them.

Don’t be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor,

walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to

you, and what may be making them.

Energy saving tips...

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity. l

l Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the

cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

l Clean the condenser coil regularly.

l Open the door as few times as possible. Think

about what you need before you open the door. ’

Get everything out at one time. Keep foods orga-

nized so you won’t have to search for what you

want. Close door as soon as food is removed.

l Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t

overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

Cleaning your refrigerator

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost

automatically. But both should be cleaned about

once a month to help prevent odors from building

up.Of course, spills should be wiped up right away.

To clean your refrigerator turn the Refrigerator

Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all removable

parts and clean it according to the following

directions.

It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator

and freezer to temperatures colder than they

need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and

drinks are as cold as your family likes them, that’s

cold enough.

Keep the Power Saving Control on CONSUMES

LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigerator

exterior.

Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat

source such as a range, water heater, furnace,

radiator or in direct sunlight.
