USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to
flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the
freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator
section through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as
shown.
5. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they
close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It
may take several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
6. Replace the base grille.

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 than they actually are. The following describes the
kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
• If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a
buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker for each cycle.
• The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle
begins and ends. Also, the Thermostat Control (or
Refrigerator Control depending on the model) will click when
cycling on and off.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
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: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent
odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
