WARNING
Broken Glass Hazard
Do not hit refrigerator glass doors.
Protect glass surface and edges during installation or
removal of doors.
Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or
minor cuts.
4. On some models, wash glass door panels with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
NOTE: Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or
other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the
glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased
likelihood of breakage at a later date.
5. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in
the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The refrigerator may run
even longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors
are opened often, or if the doors have been left open.
The refrigerator is noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below
are listed some normal sounds with an explanation.
