IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW 7"0 CONNECT EI ?,CTRICITY
Do not, raider rely circumstmlces, cut or
remove the third (gromld) prong from the
power cord. For personal safety, this appliance
must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is wmr personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Use of a GFI (Ground Fault lnterHq)tor) is not
recommended ti)r the reti'igerator outlet.
The appliance should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has
a w_ltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best perti)rmance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO
CONNECT THE REFRIGERATOR TO
A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN _2XTENSION CORD
WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
Never tmplug an appliance by pulling on the

" After crushed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip fl'om the chute.
" Sometimes a motmd of snow will titan on
the door in the ice chute. This condition is
normal and usually occurs when you have
dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow
will eventually evaporate.
" Beverages and fl)ods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
Cans, bottles or fi)o(1 packages in the

OPERATING
SOUNDS
* May be in deDost cycle when compressor does not operate fbr about
30 minutes.
* Temperature control set at OFF.
* If interior light is not on, retl"igerator may not be plugged in at
wall outlet.
* The tuse is blown/circnit breaker is tripped. Replace fuse or reset
the breaker.
* Normal when refl'igerator is first plugged in. _'\ait 24 hom_ for the
refrigerator to completely cool down.
* The new variable speed compressor is designed to mn fl)r longer
periods of time to optimize efficiency and noise. Yon may notice the
compressor and/or tim speeds accelerate based upon door openings
and/or increased fl)od loads.
* You may hear the rims spinning at high speeds. This happens when
the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened
fl'equently or when a large amount of food is added to the
refl'igerator or fleezer compartments. The rims are helping to
maintain the correct temperatm'es.
* Door le_t open or package holding door open.
* If either door is open fl_r over 3 minutes, you may hear the rims
come on in order to cool the light.
* Hot weather or fl'equent door openings. This is normal.
* Temperature controls set at the coldest setting. See Temperatm'e
ControLs.
* Refrigerator is so quiet, that most of the time you will hear low or no
operating noise.
* Normal tim air flow--one tim blows cold air through the
fl'esh fl)od and fl'eezer compartments--another fhn cools
the coiIlpressor IX/otor.
* The rims change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and
energy savings.
* These NORMAL sounds will also be heard fi'om time to time:
- Yon may hear a whooshing or gm'gling sound when the doors
close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refi'igerator.
- A water dripping noise may occm" during the defl'ost cycle as ice
melts fl'om the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
- The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling coils may
make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
- _'\ater dropping on the defl'ost heater can cause a sizzling,
popping or buzzing sound during the defl'ost cycle.
- You may hear cracking or popping sotmds when the refl'igerator is
first plugged in or during/alter the deflost cycle. This happens as
the refl'igerator cools to the correct temperature.
- 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 refl'igerator components.
- Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water rmming in pipes
as icemaker refills.
- The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills
with water.
