Normal Sounds
Your freezer may make noise during operation. Most of these sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like
the oor and walls can make sounds seem louder than they actually are.
The following describes several sounds you may hear and what may be making them:
• Rattling noises may come from the ow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the
freezer can also make noises.
• The high eciency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant owing in your freezer.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
Excess frost may build up inside the unit during normal operation. To defrost the unit, rst remove the
power plug from the wall socket, open the door, and move all of the appliance’s contents to a cool
place. Defrost the unit using the included plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally until the
frost melts. Then wipe away the remaining ice and water. When you are nished defrosting the unit,
plug the freezer back into the power supply. Do not use metal or other sharp tools to remove frost.
• Do not open the door too often, especially when the weather is humid and hot. Once you open the
door, close it as soon as possible.
• Occasionally check that the freezer is suciently ventilated. Make sure there is adequate air
circulation behind the freezer.
• In normal temperature conditions, leave the thermostat at the middle setting.
• Before loading the freezer with food, make sure the food is cooled to the ambient room
temperature.
• The ice and frost layer increases energy consumption. Be sure to defrost and clean the freezer
once this layer reaches a thickness of 1/8”.
