OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR

The doors are fitted with uniform sealing strips to prevent warm air and moisture from entering the 

freezer compartments.  

Be sure that the doors and door seals are free from obstructions and form a complete seal around 

the rim of the freezer cabinets. Over-stuffing and/or unlevel installation of the appliance will pre-

vent a good seal. It might be hard to open the door immediately after the door is closed.  This is 

due to air contraction in the freezer cabinets. This pressure difference will equalize in a few sec-

onds, making the doors easy to open once again.

LOADING THE FREEZER

Avoid packing food too tightly around the cooling plates located on the back wall of the freezer. 

Allow air flow around these plates to ensure proper operation.

When adding unfrozen food to the freezer for the first time, fill the freezer only 1/3 full and wait 

until that food is sufficiently frozen 

before adding more. It will also help to cool food more quickly if the food is packaged in smaller 

containers rather than large ones.  Food packages more than 2 inches thick will cool slowly. Avoid 

placing warm food in contact with cold food.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is being pumped through 

the refrigerant coils. 

• When the compressor is on, the freezer is being pumped through the appliance and you will hear 

a whirring or pulsing sound from the compressor.

• A thermostat controls the compressor and you may hear a ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in 

and out.
