Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the

During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each
compartment may raise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and
confi rm the proper temperature has been restored
once the defrost cycle has completed.
It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to
reach the desired temperature.
If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of
time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the
refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before
connecting it to power.
Modern refrigerators require more operating time but
use less energy due to more effi cient technology.
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in
order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to
conserve energy, try to get everything you need out
of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so
it is easy to fi nd, and close the door as soon as the
food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)
Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not
shut all the way, see the Doors will not close
completely or pop open section in Parts & Features

The compressor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F)
expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80%
of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to
run even more often. The refrigerator should not be
operated above 110°F.
Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean
the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the
panel covering the condenser coil area.
