ULIN_0229_A
Figure 3
Adjust the temperature by turning t he numbered dial
(Figure 3, 1) in small increments.
Many factors can affect the internal temperatures of the
cabinet. They include:
• Temperature setting.
• Ambient temperature where installed.
675F
• The number of times and length of time the door is
opened and closed.
• Installation in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Normal Operating Sounds
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to
provide high ther mal efficiency and maximum sound
reduction for its internal working components. In spite of
this technology, your model may make sounds that are
unfamiliar.
Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable
because of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as
cabinets, wood/vinyl/til ed fl oor s and pan eled walls ha ve a
tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Common refrigeration components , and a brief
description of the normal operating sounds they make,
are listed below. NOTE: Your product may not contain all
of the components listed.
• Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing
sound that may be heard when it operates.
• Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator
may sound like boiling liquid.
• Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be
heard.
• Automatic Defrost/Drain Pan: Water may be heard
dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in
the defrost cycle.
