DoorClosing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers - one on the right
and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you
want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using
the instructions
below:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Move the refrigerator into its final position.
Remove the base grille (see Base Grille graphic). The two
leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which
are at the base of the refrigerator on either side.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the
leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator
or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may
take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of
the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
NOTES:
•
If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the
base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the
horizontal position.
•
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
2.
Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar
until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by
dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water.
Cleaning the system will take approximately
6 to 7 minutes
and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be
required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out
of the dispenser.
3.
Turn on the ice maker by opening the freezer door and
lowering the wire shutoff arm as shown. Please refer to the
"Ice Maker" section for further instructions on the operation
of your ice maker.
•
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
•
Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
•
Depending on your model, you may want to select the
maximum ice feature to increase the production
of ice.
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.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the instructions
below:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a 5/16 in. socket or wrench.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer
between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.
Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make
sure that the water system is properly cleaned.
1. Turn off the ice maker by opening the freezer door and lifting
up the wire shutoff arm as shown.
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, 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.
•
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.
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 and freezer compartments.
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.
