3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unpacking

| Unusual noise | Appliance not level, items vibrating inside, compressor noise (normal). | Adjust leveling feet, rearrange items, note that compressor operation produces a low hum. |
| Excessive ice in freezer | Door not sealed properly, frequent door opening. | Check door seal, ensure door is closed completely, reduce frequency of opening. |
