To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes

some weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn them.

■ Open the refrigerator door. Use a ¹⁄₄" hex driver to turn both brake

feet clockwise the same amount. This will raise the front of the

refrigerator. It may take several turns to allow the door to close

more easily.

5. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems

unsteady or rolls forward when the door is pulled open, adjust the

brake feet.

To Steady the Refrigerator:

■ Open the refrigerator door. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn both

brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet are

snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, continue to

adjust the brake feet by half turns of the screw until the

refrigerator does not roll forward when the door is opened.

6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the

leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into

place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.

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, like the floor,

walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following

describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

■ 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 compartment. The fan speed may increase as you open

the doors or add warm food.

■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant 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.

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper

airflow in the refrigerator. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters

from the refrigerator wall and moves down. The air then recirculates

through the vent near the bottom.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are

blocked, airflow will be restricted, and temperature and moisture

problems may occur.

IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or

cover foods tightly.

Using the Control

The temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator

compartment.

Temperature Control

For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory.

When you first install your refrigerator, check that the control is still set

to the recommended setting as shown.

Recommended setting is the center snowflake.

IMPORTANT:

■ The recommended setting is designed to maintain the temperature

at or near 37°F (3°C) under normal operating conditions.

■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add

food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may

spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature set point to a colder than

recommended setting will not cool the refrigerator any faster.
