WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with an earthing plug which mates with a standard

earthed wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked bv a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

properly earthed.

Where an unearthed wall outlet is encountered,

it is vour personal responsibili V and obligation to have it replaced with a properly earthed wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into

its own individual electrical outlet.

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house

wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard fl'om

overheated wires. Please retk_r to the rating plate on the refl'igerator fi)r the correct voltage, wattage and

fi'equency. If the product plug does not fit your outlet, the product should be fitted with a new plug.

Aboutthe temperaturecontrols

on CustomCoolTM models.(for other models,see nextpage)

Thetemperature controls are preset in the factory at 3°C for the refrigerator compartment and -18°C for the freezer compartment. Allow24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.

Thetemperature controls can display both the SET temperature as weft as the actual temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature

may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operating

environment. Setting either or both controls to 0 (off) stops cooling in both the freezer and

refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature

controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

Tochange the temperature, press and release the + or -

pad, The SETlight will come on and the display will show the set temperature. To change the temperature, tap either the + or - pad tmtil the desired temperature

is displayed. Refl_igerator temperatures can be a(!iusted between 1°C and 7°C and the fl'eezer temperatm'es can

be a(!justed between -21 °C and -14°C.

Once the desired temperature has been set, the temperatm'e display will return to the actual refl_igerator and fl'eezer tenlperatures alter 5 seconds. Several

a(!jtlstments Inay be requiied. Each dine w)u a(!just controls, allow 94 hom_ fl)r the refligerator to reach the

The water line installation is not warranted bv the refligerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these

recommendations careflfllv to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

_'ater hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house i)lmnbing can cause damage to refl'igerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plmnber to correct water hammer betore installing the water sui)ply line to the refl'igerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook

up the water line to the hot water line.

If wm use wmr refl'igerator before connecting tile water line, inake sure the icelnaker power switch is in the 0 (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temi)eratures tall below fl'eezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a maimer to i)revent the hazard

of electric shock.

Normal operatingsounds.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.

Modem refrigerators have more features and use newer

technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

-- WHOOSH...

• The new high efficiency compressor may Hm faster and hmger than your old refl'igerator and wm may hear a high-I_itched hmn or pulsating sound while

it is operating.

• Sometimes tile refl-igerator runs tot an extended period, especially when the doo_ are opened ti'equently. This

means that tile FrostGuardTM featm'e is working to prevent fl'eezer bm'n and improve tood preservation.

• _m may hear a whooshing so/md when tile (loo_ close. This is due to pressm'e equalizing within the refiJgeratm;

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sotmds when tile refrigerator is first plugged in. This hal)pens as tile

refrigerator cools to tile correct tell/l)erature.

• Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take

up to 5 minutes).

• The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays activate to control refrigerator

coIIll)OllelltS.

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defl'ost can cause a cracking or i)oi)ping

SO/llld.

WHIRl

• You may hear tile rims spinning at high speeds. This hal)pens when the refrigerator is first i)lugged

in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amotmt of tood is added to the refrigerator

or freezer comI)amnents. The rims are helping to maintain tile correct temperatures.

• If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the rims come on in order to cool the light

bulbs.

• The £ms change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

• You may hear the tim framing atter selecting one of tile CustonlCool _ settings.

WATERSOUNDS

• The flow of refl'igerant through tile fl'eezer cooling coils may make a gm'gling noise like boiling water.

• _'_ter dropping on tile defl'ost heater can cause a sizzling, I)oI)ping or buzzing so/md dm'ing tile

defl'ost cvcle.

• A water dripping noise may occur during tile defl'ost cycle as ice melts fl'om tile evaporator and flows into

tile drain pan.

• Closing tile door mav cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.

• On models with an icemake_; after an icemaking cycle, you mav hear tile ice cubes dropping into

the ice bucket.
