• New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool
completely.

compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.
Motor seems to run too much •
Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than
you're used to, because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more
energy-efficient. This is normal.
NOTE= Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is
added, the doors are opened often, or if a door has been left open.
