Internal Light; Defrosting; Normal Sounds - Avallon AFR241SSODRH User Manual

Warning: Allow at least 24 hours for your outdoor refrigerator to run before use to allow the temperature
to acclimate. Whether your outdoor refrigerator can reach the actual set temperature depends on the
ambient environmental conditions.
Internal Light
This outdoor refrigerator is equipped with top and side internal lights that can be set to a blue or white
color. The internal lights will illuminate when the door is opened and turn off when the door is closed.
Note: Every unit is run tested at the factory. Because of this, your model may default to either a blue or
white light setting out of the box.
The automatic light feature is triggered by a sensor located on the front vent. This sensor allows the outdoor
refrigerator to recognize when the door is open or closed.

Defrosting

Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient
conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the
ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid
opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build‐up.
If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts.
Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.
Warning: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object.
Normal Sounds
Your new outdoor refrigerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor or walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The
following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line.
• Items stored on top of the refrigerator can also make noises.
• The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high‐pitched sound.
• The internal fan will run frequently to create a consistent internal temperature environment.
• 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 flowing in your outdoor
refrigerator.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
