1. Locate the two front leveling legs taped among the packing materials. 2. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the refrigerator. The back of the refrigerator rests on two fixed supports. 3. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off of the floor. NOTE: If your model is equipped with rollers, the front legs should be lowered enough to lift the rollers off of the floor to ensure the refrigerator does not roll forward when the door is opened. Place a leveling tool on top of the refrigerator first side to side, then front to back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to lower a corner. REFRIGERATOURSE In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the refrigerator. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the refrigerator wall and moves down. The air then recirculates through the vent near the bottom. 4. Repeat Step 4 until refrigerator is level. 5. After refrigerator is fully loaded with food, recheck with level as in Step 4. Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them. • Your refrigerator is 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 to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance. • You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator compartment. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food. • Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator. • Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound. • As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator. • Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise. • You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. • You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle. Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented, and temperature and moisture problems may occur. IMPORTANT: To prevent odors and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. i Setting the Control For your convenience, your refrigerator control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown. NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to the setting shown. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to the off position.
