ADJUSTING THE REFRIGERATOR

TILT

If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you

would like the door to close more easily,

you can use the four refrigerator leveling

legs to adjust the tilt of the unit.

Be sure that the refrigerator is in its final

position when making adjustments to the

tilt, and that it is plugged into a grounded

3 prong outlet.

WARNING:

Two or more people are required to move

and/or install the refrigerator. Failure to do

so may cause back or other injury.

WARNING:

 Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

 Do not remove ground prong.

 Do not use an adapter.

 Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire or electrical shock.

 Turning a leveling leg to the right will

lower the refrigerator toward the po-

sition of the leg. Likewise, turning to

the left will raise the unit away from

the leg.

 Several turns of the leveling legs

may be required before the refrigera-

tor tilt is properly adjusted.

 Turning both front legs the same

amount to the left will tilt the refrig-

erator to the rear. This adjustment

makes it easier for the door to close.

NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling

legs if someone else pushes against the

top of the refrigerator to take the weight

off of the legs.

REFRIGERATOR SOUNDS

After your new refrigerator has run for a

while, you may notice some sounds being

generated by the unit. These are normal.

Any hard surfaces surrounding the unit,

such as the floor or cabinetry, can make

the sounds seem louder. The following

list explains some of the sounds you may

hear, and their causes.

REFRIGERATOR SOUNDS (cont’d)

 Your refrigerator uses a high effi-

ciency compressor and fans, to keep

your food items at the desired tem-

perature while minimizing energy us-

age. The fan and compressor may

therefore run for longer periods than

your old refrigerator. You may also

notice a pulsating or high-pitched

sound coming from the compressor or

fans, as they adjust to optimize per-

formance.

 As refrigerant flows inside the cabinet,

you may hear some rattling noises.

This may also be caused by items

stored inside the cabinet.

 After each cooling cycle, you might

hear a gurgling sound caused by the

refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.

 When the refrigerator is defrosting,

you might hear water running into the

drain pan.

 Each time the refrigerator starts or

stops running, you may hear some

clicking sounds.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning Your Refrigerator

NOTE: To prevent the buildup of odors,

clean the refrigerator about once a

month. Follow the below procedures for

cleaning:

1. Disconnect from power.

2. Remove parts such as shelves, etc.

that can be taken out of the refrigera-

tor.

3. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth,

hand wash, rinse, and dry removable

parts and interior surfaces thoroughly.

Use a mild detergent in warm water.

DO NOT use abrasive or harsh clean-

ers such as window sprays, scouring

cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning

waxes, concentrated detergents,

bleaches or cleansers containing

petroleum products. DO NOT use

harsh cleaning tools such as paper

towels or scouring pads, as these can

scratch or damage the surfaces of the

refrigerator.

REMOVING / REPLACING THE BASE

GRILLE

Required Tools: Phillips screwdriver

To remove the base grille:

1. Open the refrigerator door.

2. Remove the two SCREWS with a

Phillips screwdriver. Release and

remove the base grille from the refrig-

erator by pushing both TABS in to-

ward the center.

To replace the base grille:

1. Open the refrigerator door.

2. Align both TABS into position, such

that the base grille snaps into place.

3. Replace and tighten the two SCREWS.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Many problems can be resolved with-

out the need for a service call. Try the

following list as a reference to poten-

tial solutions of common problems.

PROBLEM

: The refrigerator is not operat-

ing.

Is the power supply cord unplugged?

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Has a household fuse blown, or a cir-

cuit breaker been tripped? Replace the

fuse or reset the circuit.

Is the temperature control knob in the

OFF position, or incorrectly set? See

“Temperature Control Knob” section on

page 3.

PROBLEM

: The motor is constantly run-

ning, or running too much

Is it hotter than usual where the refrig-

erator is? At normal temperatures, the

motor will typically run between 40%

and 80% of the time. The motor will

run even longer when the refrigerator

is in an unusually warm environment.

Has a large amount of product been

added to the refrigerator? The more

that is added to the refrigerator, the

longer it will take for the product to cool

down. During this process, the motor

will run longer.

Is the door frequently opened? Warm

air entering the refrigerator causes the

motor to run longer. Try to get every-

thing you need out of the refrigerator at

once, in order to save energy. If food is

organized so that it is easy to find, the

time the door is kept open can be mini-

mized. Close the door as soon as you

have removed what you need.

Is the control set correctly? See

“Temperature Control Knob” section on

page 3.

Is the door completely closed? Push

the door firmly shut.

Are the condenser coils dirty? This

prevents proper air transfer, and

causes the motor to work harder.

Clean the condenser coils. See

“Cleaning Your Refrigerator” section

on pages 4 and 5, and refer to #7.

PROBLEM

: The refrigerator temperature

is too warm

 Have you just added a large amount

of product to the refrigerator? This will

warm the interior of the unit until the

refrigerator is able to cool down to the

correct temperature.

Is the control set correctly? See

“Temperature Control Knob” section on

page 3.

PROBLEM

: There is excessive moisture

inside the refrigerator

Is the door opened frequently? If so,

humidity from the room will enter the

refrigerator and cause moisture to build

up. This will happen even more if the

air in the room is very humid.

Is all product properly packed? Ensure

all items inside the refrigerator are se-

curely wrapped. Wipe damp containers.

PROBLEM

: The door is hard to open

Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the

gasket and the surface that it touches.

Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the

gasket after cleaning.

4. For stainless steel and painted metal

exterior surfaces, use a clean sponge

or soft cloth and a mild detergent in

warm water. DO NOT use abrasive or

harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing

chlorine, as these can scratch or

damage the material. Using a soft

cloth, dry thoroughly.

5. To help with removing odors, you can

use a mixture of warm water and bak-

ing soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L]

of water) to wash the interior walls.

6. After cleaning, replace all of the parts

that were removed from refrigerator.

7. The condenser coils, located behind

the base grille, should also be

cleaned regularly. This may be as

often as every other month. Cleaning

the condenser coils may help reduce

how much energy the refrigerator

uses.

Remove the base grille (see

“Removing / Replacing the Base

Grill” section on page 7).

When the condenser coils are dusty

or dirty, use a vacuum cleaner with

an extension attachment.

Replace the base grille.

8. After cleaning the refrigerator, plug in

or reconnect power.

Replacing the Light Bulb

NOTE: The bulb should be exchanged

with one of the same size, shape, and

wattage, as not all appliance bulbs are

suited for your refrigerator.

1. Disconnect from power.

2. Remove the screw located at the

back of the light shield with a Phillips

screwdriver. By pulling the light shield

back, remove the tabs attached to the

refrigerator, and detach the light

shield.

3. Replace the bulb.

4. To reattach the light shield, push the

tabs back in. Align the holes and in-

sert the screw, tightening as needed.

5. Connect to power.

Vacation

Use up any perishable goods and freeze

other items if you choose to leave the

refrigerator on while you are away.

If the refrigerator will be turned off prior to

your departure, follow these steps.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. Unplug the refrigerator.

3. Clean the refrigerator. See “Cleaning

Your Refrigerator” on page 4.

4. Prop the door open, so that sufficient

air can enter the refrigerator. Do so by

taping a rubber or wood block to the

top of the door. Allowing air to flow into

the refrigerator prevents the buildup of

odor and mold.

Moving Care

Follow the instructions below to prepare

your refrigerator when moving to a new

location, such as a new home.

1. Remove all products from the refrig-

erator.

2. Unplug the refrigerator.

3. Clean, wipe, and dry the unit com-

pletely.

4. Take out all removable parts, wrap

them, and tape them together se-

curely so they don’t shift and rattle

during the move.

5. Tape the doors shut and tape the

power cord to the rear of the refrig-

erator.

WARNING:

Two or more people are required to move

and/or install the refrigerator. Failure to do so

may cause back or other injury.

Important information about moving your

refrigerator

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the

unit for cleaning or maintenance, cover the

floor with cardboard or hardboard to prevent

damaging your floor. You should always pull

the refrigerator straight out when moving it.

Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when

trying to move it, as this can cause floor

damage.
