noisereducessignicantly.

flowoftherefrigerant.Thesenoisesshouldreduce
signicantlyoncetherefrigerantsystemhasstabilized.

■SQUEAK–WhenOpalisinneedofdefrosting,it
may start to squeak as ice starts to build up around
the mechanisms. The defost cycle is automatic, and

button won’t respond. More frequent squeaking usually
requires white vinegar cleaning to remove internal
mineral scale buildup.
