INITIAL START-UP
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside
to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides
of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm/hot –
which is normal.
A cooling coil is located behind the rear wall of the freezer
section. This coil cools and removes moisture from the
air inside.
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator,
as it affects efficient circulation of the air inside the
compartment. 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 energy-efficient components, which may
make unusual sounds. These sounds simply indicate your
refrigerator is working how it should. They include:
• Compressor running noises
• Air movement noise from the small fan motor
• A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling
• A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting
• A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up
• Air purging in the water line.
