ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT - SHOCK HAZARD

 Make sure there is a suitable power outlet. 115 Volt, 15 Amp, 3-prong (grounded) power outlet with

proper grounding to power the refrigerator.

 Avoid the use of 3-prong adapters or cutting oﬀ the third grounding prong in order to accommodate

a 2-prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no eﬀective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in death, ﬁre or electrical shock.

ENGLISH

WARNING

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS - POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD

 Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it

is necessary to use an extensions cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-prong outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

 Do not use an extension cord longer than 12 ft.  Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, ﬁre or electrical shock.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS

 Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, even surface away from direct sunlight or heat

source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any ﬂoor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the corrugated base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside. Retain foam block between doors if door swing reversal is required.

PAGE 10 ●CLEANING & CARE

PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

In the event of a power interruption, unplug your

ENGLISH

refrigerator from the power source. Avoid opening the doors until after power has been restored. Your refrigerator will maintain a cold temperature for a longer period of time if door opening is avoided or kept to a minimum.

Once power has been restored, plug your refrigerator back into the power source and inspect food in the refrigerator for spoilage or thawing. Cleaning your refrigerator after a prolonged power outage is strongly recommended to avoid odors and potential health hazards due to thawing.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

VACATION S

For long vacations or absences, unplug your refrigerator and remove all food from it. Turn the temperature control knob in the refrigerator section to the OFF position and clean the refrigerator, including the gaskets, according to the Proper Care and Maintenance section. Leave the doors propped open to allow air to circulate inside the refrigerator.

MOVING

Before moving your refrigerator, empty the food from it and use adhesive tape to secure all loose items such as shelves, door bins and racks, crispers and pans, etc. and unplug it. Always move the refrigerator in an upright position in order to avoid damaging the sealed refrigerant system.

WHIRRING/BUZZING

There are multiple high-speed fans inside your refrigerator which help it to maintain the temperature you have selected. Whirring is common when the refrigerator is ﬁrst plugged in, when the doors have been opened often or for an extended period of time and when a large amount of food has been added. It may also be heard when the ice maker is ejecting ice into the ice bucket.

HUMMING

This is a common sounds that comes from the compressor and is a part of making your refrigerator run eﬃciently.

WHOOSHING

It is possible that you may hear a whooshing sound when closing the doors. This is no cause for concern. It is simply the pressure in refrigerator equalizing.

OTHER SOUNDS

There are lots of things going on in your refrigerator at any given time. Additional sounds your may hear, and possible causes include:

 Gurgling is most likely due to the circulation of

refrigerant through the cooling coils.

 Running water can be heard while the ice maker is

ﬁlling with water.

 Sizzling or popping sounds can be frost melting

and falling onto the defrost heater during the defrost cycle.

 Clicking or chirping may be heard as the

compressor attempts to re-start.

 Clicking may also be heard when the water valve

opens and closes to ﬁll the ice maker.

 Cracking or popping sounds may be from the

expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after the defrost cycle.

 Also, when your refrigerator is ﬁrst plugged in, the

foam insulation in the walls will cool and contract, which can result in cracking or popping sounds

 The defrost timer and thermostat control will click

as each cycles on and oﬀ.

 You will also a hear a thump when ice drops into

the ice bucket.
