CONTROLS AND SETTINGS 17 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 you leave the door ajar the High Temp alarm is activated. The refrigerator will function normally once you close the door, without any violation of the Sabbath/Holidays.
AUTOMATIC WATER DISPENSER The Internal water dispenser is mounted inside the cabinet, along the left-hand cabinet wall. Before using the water dispenser for the first time or after changing the water filter, you must prime your water supply system. Priming the water supply system CAUTION For proper dispenser operation, the recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.
ICE MAKER CAUTION If the water supply to the refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker. Your appliance has an automatic ice maker that will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. The unit will not produce ice during the first 24 hours of initial operation. Ice Maker Tips • If you turn the ice maker for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
ICE MAKER Ice Maker Storage Bin Capacity The ice maker should produce about 3.5 lbs of ice per 24 hours, depending on conditions of use. How much ice can be stored in the ice bins? When completely full, the bins will hold about 8 lbs of ice. Remove and empty the ice bin if: An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored.

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.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS 25 Understanding the sounds coming from the refrigerator High-efficiency refrigerators may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate the refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable. The following is a list of major components in the refrigerator and the sounds they can cause: A Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
