BEVERAGE CENTER USE
Normal Sounds
Your new beverage center may make sounds that your old one
didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can
make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds
of sounds and what may be making them.
■ Your beverage center is designed to run more efficiently to
keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to
minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and
fans may cause your beverage center to run longer than your
old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound
from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize
performance.
■ Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items
stored inside the beverage center.
■ As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your beverage center.
■ You may hear water running into the drain pan when the
beverage center is defrosting.
■ You may hear clicking sounds when the beverage center
starts or stops running.
Using the Control
For your convenience, your beverage center control is preset at
the factory. When you first install your beverage center, make
sure that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
Adjusting Controls
The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal usage. The control is set correctly when
beverages are as cold as you like.
If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours
between adjustments and then recheck the temperature.
To make the beverage center colder, adjust the control to the next
higher setting. To make the beverage center less cold, adjust the
control to the next lower setting.
Temperature Separator (Temperature Display)
The temperature separator displays the current temperatures
(Fahrenheit or Celsius) for the upper, middle and lower zones
(compartments) of the beverage center. To adjust the
temperature settings, see “Adjusting Controls” earlier in this
section.
