If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you 
would like the door to close more easily, 
you can use the four refrigerator leveling 
legs to adjust the tilt of the unit.  

Be sure that the refrigerator is in its final 
position when making adjustments to the 
tilt, and that it is plugged into a grounded 
3 prong outlet.  

WARNING: 

WARNING:

 









 

 

 



Turning a leveling leg to the right will 
lower the refrigerator toward the po-
sition of the leg. Likewise, turning to 
the left will raise the unit away from 
the leg.  



Several turns of the leveling legs 
may be required before the refrigera-
tor tilt is properly adjusted.  



Turning both front legs the same 
amount to the left will tilt the refrig-
erator to the rear. This adjustment 
makes it easier for the door to close. 

NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling 
legs if someone else pushes against the 
top of the refrigerator to take the weight 
off of the legs.  

After your new refrigerator has run for a 
while, you may notice some sounds being 
generated by the unit. These are normal. 
Any hard surfaces surrounding the unit, 
such as the floor or cabinetry, can make 
the sounds seem louder. The following 
list explains some of the sounds you may 
hear, and their causes.  

REFRIGERATOR SOUNDS (cont’d) 



Your refrigerator uses a high effi-
ciency compressor and fans, to keep 
your food items at the desired tem-
perature while minimizing energy us-
age. The fan and compressor may 
therefore run for longer periods than 
your old refrigerator. You may also 
notice a pulsating or high-pitched 
sound coming from the compressor or 
fans, as they adjust to optimize per-
formance. 



As refrigerant flows inside the cabinet, 
you may hear some rattling noises. 
This may also be caused by items 
stored inside the cabinet.  



After each cooling cycle, you might 
hear a gurgling sound caused by the 
refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator. 



When the refrigerator is defrosting, 
you might hear water running into the 
drain pan. 



Each time the refrigerator starts or 
stops running, you may hear some 
clicking sounds.  

 

NOTE: To prevent the buildup of odors, 
clean the refrigerator about once a 
month. Follow the below procedures for 
cleaning: 

1.  Disconnect from power. 

2.  Remove parts such as shelves, etc. 

that can be taken out of the refrigera-
tor.  

3.  Using a clean sponge or soft cloth, 

hand wash, rinse, and dry removable 
parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. 
Use a mild detergent in warm water. 
DO NOT use abrasive or harsh clean-
ers such as window sprays, scouring 
cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning 
waxes, concentrated detergents, 
bleaches or cleansers containing    
petroleum products. DO NOT use 
harsh cleaning tools such as paper 
towels or scouring pads, as these can 
scratch or damage the surfaces of the 
refrigerator.  

Required Tools: Phillips screwdriver 

To remove the base grille: 

1.  Open the refrigerator door. 

2.  Remove the two SCREWS with a 

Phillips screwdriver. Release and 
remove the base grille from the refrig-
erator by pushing both TABS in to-
ward the center. 

To replace the base grille: 

1. Open the refrigerator door. 

2. Align both TABS into position, such 
that the base grille snaps into place.  

3. Replace and tighten the two SCREWS.  



Is the power supply cord unplugged? 
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 



Has a household fuse blown, or a cir-
cuit breaker been tripped? Replace the 
fuse or reset the circuit. 



Is the temperature control knob in the 
OFF position, or incorrectly set? See 
“Temperature Control Knob” section on 
page 3.  



Is it hotter than usual where the refrig-
erator is? At normal temperatures, the 
motor will typically run between 40% 
and 80% of the time. The motor will 
run even longer when the refrigerator 
is in an unusually warm environment. 

 



Has a large amount of product been 
added to the refrigerator? The more 
that is added to the refrigerator, the 
longer it will take for the product to cool 
down. During this process, the motor 
will run longer. 



Is the door frequently opened? Warm 
air entering the refrigerator causes the   
motor to run longer. Try to get every-
thing you need out of the refrigerator at 
once, in order to save energy. If food is 
organized so that it is easy to find, the 
time the door is kept open can be mini-
mized. Close the door as soon as you 
have removed what you need.  



Is the control set correctly? See 

“Temperature Control Knob” section on 
page 3.  



Is the door completely closed? Push 

the door firmly shut.  



Are the condenser coils dirty? This        
prevents proper air transfer, and 
causes the motor to work harder. 
Clean the condenser coils. See 
“Cleaning Your Refrigerator” section 
on pages 4 and 5, and refer to #7.  



Have you just added a large amount 
of product to the refrigerator? This will 
warm the interior of the unit until the 
refrigerator is able to cool down to the 
correct temperature.  



Is the control set correctly? See 
“Temperature Control Knob” section on 
page 3.  



Is the door opened frequently? If so, 
humidity from the room will enter the 
refrigerator and cause moisture to build 
up. This will happen even more if the 
air in the room is very humid.  



Is all product properly packed? Ensure 
all items inside the refrigerator are se-
curely wrapped. Wipe damp containers. 



Is the gasket dirty or sticky? Clean the 
gasket and the surface that it touches. 
Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the 
gasket after cleaning.  

4.  For stainless steel and painted metal 

exterior surfaces, use a clean sponge 
or soft cloth and a mild detergent in 
warm water. DO NOT use abrasive or 
harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing       
chlorine, as these can scratch or     
damage the material. Using a soft 
cloth, dry thoroughly.  

5.  To help with removing odors, you can 

use a mixture of warm water and bak-
ing soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] 
of water) to wash the interior walls.  

6.  After cleaning, replace all of the parts 

that were removed from refrigerator.  

7.  The condenser coils, located behind 

the base grille, should also be 
cleaned regularly. This may be as 
often as every other month. Cleaning 
the condenser coils may help reduce 
how much energy the refrigerator 
uses. 



Remove the base grille (see 
“Removing / Replacing the Base 
Grill” section on page 7). 



When the condenser coils are dusty 
or dirty, use a vacuum cleaner with 
an extension attachment. 



Replace the base grille. 

8.   After cleaning the refrigerator, plug in  

or reconnect power.  

 

NOTE: The bulb should be exchanged 
with one of the same size, shape, and 
wattage, as not all appliance bulbs are 
suited for your refrigerator.  

1.  Disconnect from power. 

2.  Remove the screw located at the 

back of the light shield with a Phillips 
screwdriver. By pulling the light shield 
back, remove the tabs attached to the 
refrigerator, and detach the light 
shield. 

3.  Replace the bulb. 

4.  To reattach the light shield, push the 

tabs back in. Align the holes and in-
sert the screw, tightening as needed.  

5.  Connect to power. 

Use up any perishable goods and freeze 
other items if you choose to leave the 
refrigerator on while you are away.  

If the refrigerator will be turned off prior to 
your departure, follow these steps. 

1.  Remove all food from the refrigerator. 

2.  Unplug the refrigerator. 

3.  Clean the refrigerator. See “Cleaning 

Your Refrigerator” on page 4.  

4. Prop the door open, so that sufficient 

air can enter the refrigerator. Do so by 
taping a rubber or wood block to the 
top of the door. Allowing air to flow into 
the refrigerator prevents the buildup of 
odor and mold.  

Follow the instructions below  to prepare 
your refrigerator when moving to a new 
location, such as a new home.  

1.  Remove all products from the refrig-

erator. 

2.  Unplug the refrigerator. 

3.  Clean, wipe, and dry the unit com-

pletely. 

4.  Take out all removable parts, wrap 

them, and tape them together se-
curely so they don’t shift and rattle 
during the move. 

5.  Tape the doors shut and tape the 

power cord to the rear of the refrig-
erator. 

WARNING: 

 

 

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the 
unit for cleaning or maintenance,  cover the 
floor with cardboard or hardboard to prevent 
damaging your floor. You should always pull 
the refrigerator straight out when moving it. 
Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when 
trying to move it, as this can cause floor 
damage.
