large amounts of soap and water, abrasives
or sharp objects on the panel-theg can
damage it. Some paper towels can also
scratch the control panel.
Do not wipe the beverage center or wine
chiller with a soiled dishcloth or towel.
These mablleave aresidue that can
erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads,
powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products
can scratch and weaken the point finish.
Stainless steel Regularlg clean and polish
the stainless steel areas (on some models)
with a commerciallg available stainless
steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic®
to preserve and protect the fine finish.
Stainless Steel Magic®is available through

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break. Handle
glass shelves carefully. Rough handling of
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not usedetergents, scouring powders,
sprag cleaners or other harsh chemicals to
clean the interior.
Drain Hole

Normal operating sounds, go.corn
Newer appliances sound different from older appliances.
Modern appliances have more features and use newer
technologg,
Do gou hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
HUMMM...
--WHOOSH...
• The new high efficiency compressor may run faster
and longer than your old appliance and you may
hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
• Sometimes the appliance runsfor an extended period,
especiallywhen the doors are opened frequently.
• Youmag hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
Thisisdue to pressureequalizing within the appliance.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
• You mag hear cracking or popping sounds when
the appliance is first plugged in.This happens as
the appliance cools to the correct temperature.
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
• Youmag hear the fans spinning at high speeds.
This happens when the appliance isfirst plugged in,
when the doors are opened frequently or when large
amounts of beverages are added to the appliance.
The fans help maintain desired temperatures.
• If door is open for over 3 minutes, you mag hear the
fans come on in order to cool the appliance.
• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energg savings.
WATERSOUNDS
6
• The flow of refrigerant through the appliance cooling
coils mag make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
• Awater dripping noise mag occur as water from the
evaporator flows into the drain pan.
• Closing the door mag cause a gurgling sound due
to pressure equalization.
