1.  Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance, 

(cooker, dishwasher, etc.). heating air duct, or other 

heat sources.

2.  Install product out of direct sunlight.

3.  Ensure the front grille vents at front of unit above door 

are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation 

for the refrigeration system to expel heat.

4.  Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not 

shared with other appliances).

5.  When initially loading your new product, or whenever 

large quantities of warm contents are placed within 

refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door 

openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull 

down to compartment set-point temperature.

6.  Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will 

require less appliance run time than an empty compart-

ment.

7.  Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents 

stored in your appliance.

8.  Allow hot items to reach room temperature before plac-

ing in product.

9.  Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.

10. Use the warmest temperature control set-point that 

meets your personal preference and provides the 

proper storage for your stored contents.

11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-

      riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem-

      perature for the stored contents.

12. Set the control to the "off" position if cleaning the unit

      requires the door to be open for an extended period of

      time.

Your new freezer may make sounds unfamiliar to you.  

These sounds normally indicate that the freezer is operat-

ing correctly. Note that hard surfaces around your product 

installation may make sounds more noticeable.

Following is a list of normal operating sounds that you may 

hear from your new appliance:

1. The compressor will cycle on and off to provide cooling

    as required. You may hear a click when the compressor

    cycles on, and may also hear pulsating, and/or, a high-

    pitched hum sound when the compressor is running.

    Run time may vary due to ambient temperature, usage/

    door openings, and warm food loads.

2. The condenser fan will cycle on and off with the com- 

    pressor to remove heat from the product. When running

    you may hear a motor hum, and an air rush noise as air

    is forced through the condenser heat exchanger.

3. The evaporator fan will also cycle with the compressor

    to provide cooling in the storage compartments. When 

    running you may hear a motor hum and air noise. These

    noises will be noticeably louder when the storage com-

    partment doors are opened.

4. Automatic defrost requires the use of an electric heater 

    to periodically remove frost from the evaporator heat

    exchanger. When in defrost you may hear a sizzling

    sound as water may contact the heater element. Ad-

    ditionally, during defrost you may hear water dripping or

    running as the defrost water is routed to the drain pan.

5. Defrost is controlled with a mechanical timer. During the

    compressor off cycle, in a quiet environment, you may

    hear a faint motor running, and/or clock ticking sound.

6. When the compressor cycles off you may temporarily

    hear gurgling, boiling, or water flowing sounds. This re-

    sults from the flow of refrigerant through the refriger-

    ant tubing as the system pressures equalize during the

    off cycle.

7. Faint popping noises may be heard at any time resulting

    from thermal contraction and expansion of components 

    in the compartments as temperatures change throughout

    the refrigeration cycle.

8. If your unit is equipped with an icemaker you will hear a

    buzzing sound when the water supply solenoid valve is

    activated. You will also periodically hear the ice harvest

    which includes motor running noise, cracking and move-

    ment of cubes from the ice mold, and cubes dropping

    into the ice storage bin.
