BEFORE USE Remove the Packaging s Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator drawers. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the glue residue with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry. s Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator drawers. For more information, see "Refrigerator Drawers Safety." Clean Before Use After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator drawers before using them. See the cleaning instructions in "Refrigerator Drawers Care." REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS USE WARNING Ensuring Proper Air Circulation In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow inside the drawers. Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. Normal Sounds Your new refrigerator drawers may make sounds that your old refrigerator drawers didn't. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them. s Your refrigerator drawers are designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator drawers to run longer than your old ones. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance. s You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator drawers. The fan speed may increase as you open the drawers or add warm food. s As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing through the sealed system tubing. s Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise. s You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. s You may hear water running into the drain pan during the off cycle. 4 Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal, bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and the temperature controls will not function properly. IMPORTANT: To prevent odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
