INSTaLLING YOUR NEW aPPLIaNCE

7.   You may now need to fine-tune the installation by 

repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.

8.   Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the 

instructions on page 18 and wipe off any dust that has 
accumulated during shipping.

9.   Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s 

recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to 
check it is running properly.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your  
new refrigerator.

Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside 
to the outside air. This operation makes the back and 
sides of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm – 
which is normal.
a cooling coil is located behind the rear wall of the freezer 
section. This coil cools and removes moisture from the 
air inside.
avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator, 
as it affects efficient circulation of the air inside the 
compartment. If the door is opened frequently, a light 
frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. 
This is normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer 
door is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat the 
inside walls and should be removed. 
Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, 
along with other energy-efficient components, which may 
make unusual sounds. These sounds simply indicate your 
refrigerator is working how it should. They include:
•  Compressor running noises
•  air movement noise from the small fan motor
•  a gurgling sound, similar to water boiling
•   a popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting
•  a clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up
•  air purging in the water line.
