Normal Sounds
Your new convertible refrigerator/freezer 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.
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer is designed to run efficiently, 
to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to 
minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans 
may cause your convertible refrigerator/freezer 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.
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer will sound louder than 
regular refrigerators. This is due to the high fan speed. This 
speed is necessary to keep the convertible refrigerator/freezer 
operating properly in the harsher environments of most garages. 
You may hear a hissing noise after you close the lower 
compartment door. This is due to the colder temperature of the 
lower compartment and the stronger seal on the door.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the 
upper and lower compartments. The fan speed may increase as 
you open the doors or add warm food.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items 
stored on top of the convertible refrigerator/freezer.
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 convertible refrigerator/freezer.
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.
CONVERTIBLE 
REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER USE
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit airflow 
between the lower and upper sections. As shown in the illustration, 
the majority of the cold air enters the lower compartment through 
vents behind the lower control box, flows through the lower section 
and is recirculated through the opening in the top of the lower 
compartment. The rest of the cold air enters the upper compartment 
through the vent in the upper control box, then flows through the 
upper section and is recirculated through the rear wall.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are 
blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture 
problems may occur.
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 and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Using the Controls
For your convenience, your convertible refrigerator/freezer controls 
are preset at the factory with the upper compartment set in 
refrigeration mode and the lower compartment controls set at the 
midpoint. When you first install your convertible refrigerator/freezer, 
make sure that the controls are still preset to the factory settings. 
Upper Compartment Control
The upper compartment of your convertible refrigerator/freezer can 
function as either a refrigerator or a freezer. The control in the upper 
compartment allows you to switch it from Refrigerator Mode to 
Freeze mode. Make sure that the correct mode for your storage 
requirement is selected. 
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer is designed for use in the garage. 
If the upper compartment is set to Freeze, your usual setting for the 
lower compartment should be adequate for most summer or winter 
conditions. Under extreme summer or winter conditions, you may 
need to make minor adjustments to the upper compartment control 
in order to maintain the desired temperature in the upper 
compartment.
To Change the Upper Compartment to Freeze Mode:
Turn the control all the way to FREEZE.
IMPORTANT: If the control is set between FREEZE and COLDEST 
settings, the upper compartment may not operate in the desired 
mode. The control should be set all the way to FREEZE to function 
properly as a freezer, or in the range between COLD and COLDEST 
to function properly as a refrigerator. 
Lower Compartment Control
The lower compartment functions as a freezer at all times. The 
control in the lower compartment controls the temperature in the 
lower compartment and the temperature in the upper compartment 
when the upper compartment is in Freeze mode.
NOTE: To turn your convertible refrigerator/freezer off, turn the lower 
compartment control to the word OFF and the upper compartment to 
FREEZE. Your convertible refrigerator/freezer will not cool when the 
lower compartment control is set to OFF.
IMPORTANT:
When the upper compartment is in refrigeration mode, the 
temperature is controlled by the upper control. When it is in 
freeze mode, the temperature is controlled by the lower 
compartment control.
