PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
In the event of a power interruption, unplug your
refrigerator from the power source. Avoid opening
the doors until after power has been restored. Your
refrigerator will maintain a cold temperature for a
longer period of time if door opening is avoided or
kept to a minimum.
Once power has been restored, plug your
refrigerator back into the power source and inspect
food in the refrigerator for spoilage or thawing.
Cleaning your refrigerator after a prolonged power
outage is strongly recommended to avoid odors and
potential health hazards due to thawing.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

WHIRRING/BUZZING
There are multiple high-speed fans inside your
refrigerator which help it to maintain the
temperature you have selected. Whirring is common
when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the
doors have been opened often or for an extended
period of time and when a large amount of food has
been added. It may also be heard when the ice maker
is ejecting ice into the ice bucket.
HUMMING
This is a common sounds that comes from the
compressor and is a part of making your refrigerator
run efficiently.
WHOOSHING
It is possible that you may hear a whooshing sound
when closing the doors. This is no cause for concern.
It is simply the pressure in refrigerator equalizing.
VACATIONS
For long vacations or absences, unplug your
refrigerator and remove all food from it. Turn the
temperature control knob in the refrigerator section
to the OFF position and clean the refrigerator,
including the gaskets, according to the Proper Care
and Maintenance section. Leave the doors propped
open to allow air to circulate inside the refrigerator.
MOVING
Before moving your refrigerator, empty the food
from it and use adhesive tape to secure all loose
items such as shelves, door bins and racks, crispers
and pans, etc. and unplug it. Always move the
refrigerator in an upright position in order to avoid
damaging the sealed refrigerant system.
