IMPORTANT If food is freezing in the fresh food compartment, increase the temperature setting 1 or 2 degrees. IMPORTANT Food placed within 1 in. in front of the air ports may cause food to freeze. NOTE Unit should stabilize temperatures within 24 hours of installation.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS Sabbath Mode The Sabbath Mode is a feature that disables portions of the refrigerator and its controls in accordance with observance of the weekly Sabbath and religious holidays within the Orthodox Jewish community. In the Sabbath Mode, the High Temp alarm is active for health reasons. For example, if the door is left ajar the High Temp alarm is activated. The refrigerator will function normally once the door is closed, without any violation of the Sabbath/Holidays.
ICE MAKER IMPORTANT On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If happening frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure or the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle.

Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize to room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash in dishwasher.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY Ideas for storing foods • Activating Freeze Boost will help the freezer more efficiently maintain the selected temperature after placing new purchases with pre-existing frozen foods. • Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods. • Leave a space between packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.
