COOLING AND NOISE
Cooling
Make sure the controls are set to the recommended temperatures for normal
household use.
NOTE: Areas such as a garage or porch may experience hotter or colder
temperatures and higher humidity than inside the home. You may need to adjust
the temperature to accommodate for these conditions.
Freezer - 0˚F (-18˚C)
Fridge - 37˚F (3˚C)
• Before storing food, wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to
cool completely.
• If you adjust the control settings, allow 24 hours for the
temperature to change between adjustments.
• Make sure the air vents inside the refrigerator and freezer
compartments are not blocked by stored food.
Noise
The compressor in your new refrigerator operates quietly.
Due to this reduction in operating noise, you may notice
unfamiliar noises that are normal. To listen to normal
refrigerator sounds, go to www.whirlpool.com/product_help

located to the right.
