Storing Food and Saving Energy Ideas for storing foods Fresh food storage • Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F. • Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling. Fruits and vegetables • Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods. • Wash items and remove excess water.
Normal Operating Sounds Understanding the sounds you may hear Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable. The following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause: A Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
Changing the Water and Air Filters Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and air filtering systems. The water filter system filters all the water used to produce ice. The air filter removes odors and impurities from the refrigerator compartment. NOTE It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement. 1 Push the filter release button above the cartridge to disconnect it.
Changing the Water and Air Filters 4 Push firmly until the cartridge snaps into place (you should hear two clicks). When fully engaged, the front of the filter cartridge should be flush with the filter release button. 5 Press and hold the Air Filter Reset button on the control panel for three seconds. When the display changes from “Replace” to “Good,” the status has been reset. 6 The Air Filter Reset will turn itself off after a few seconds.
Care and Cleaning Protecting your investment Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. NOTE Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets, or cabinet liners.
