Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the refrigerator feel warm or even hot particularly at start-up and on warm days – this is normal.
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator as it aects efficient circulation. If the door is opened frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed.
Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, along with other energy­efficient components, which may make unusual sounds and be more noticeable at night and quieter times. These sounds simply indicate your refrigerator is working how it should. They include:
• Compressor running noises; modern, high efficiency compressors run much faster than older models.
• Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
• A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
• A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting; and
• A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up. Further details can be found in the Troubleshooting Guide.
For bottom mount refrigerators (where freezer is below the fresh food compartment):
• Ensure all freezer drawer and shelves are pushed back completely to prevent them from keeping the door open.
5.1 USING AND REMOVING FEATURES
5.1.1 Glass Shelves To remove the shelves, gently pull them
forward unit the shelf comes clear of the shelf guides.
To return the shelf, make sure there is nothing behind that may obstruct movement. Gently push the shelf, into the cabinet and back into position.

WARNING
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator o at the electric outlet and unplug the cord to prevent any chance of electrocuting yourself.
Doors and exterior (white and silver): You should only clean the doors with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.
CAUTION
Never use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other cleaners that will scratch the surface. Damage to the appliance after delivery is not covered by your warranty.
Interior
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly with a soft cloth, unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts and avoid getting water on the controls. Replace removable parts, plug power cord in and switch the power on before returning the food.
Door seals Always keep door seals clean by washing them with a mild detergent and warm water, followed by a thorough drying.
Sticky food and drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door.
CAUTION
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean your refrigerator. Many commercially available cleaning products and detergents contain solvents that will damage your refrigerator. Use only a soft cloth with an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
To clean a crisper or freezer bin with telescopic extension slides, simply wipe with a damp cloth and warm soapy water. Never immerse the cover in water, as this could aect the operation of the slide.
Switching o your refrigerator If you switch o your refrigerator for an extended period, follow these steps to reduce the chances of mould:
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the electric outlet.
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the Interior.
