OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according to the
appliance’s Installation Guide.
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer temperature controls are set to the recommended set
points at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the temperature controls are still set
to the recommended set points. The recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F
(-18°C) for the freezer.
IMPORTANT:
� The recommended settings should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls
are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
� When the power is on, the temperature display shows the set point temperature of the compartment.
� Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the
refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a colder than recommended setting will not
cool the compartments any faster.
� If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be
sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
� Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments
are made.
Viewing the Temperature in Degrees Celsius
� Press C touch pad to display degree Celsius, press F touch pad to display
degree Fahrenheit.
NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the negative sign next to the
freezer display will light up. This is normal.

Press + or - to adjust temperature. Press Save to set the temperature.

“Replace Filter” indicator light disappears.

returns to the previous temperature set points.

� Press OPTIONS, and then press MAX ICE to turn on the Max Ice feature. Max Ice will remain activated
for 24 hours unless manually turned off.

Max Ice feature is enabled. After 24 hours, the freezer will return to the previous temperature set point.
Alarm Functions
Door Open - An alarm will sound when a door has been open for longer than 5 minutes. Closing the door
or drawer, or pressing any Home Screen touch pad (Fridge, Freezer or Options) will reset the Door Open
feature and turn off the audio alarm.
NOTE: If the door(s) or drawer are left open for 10 minutes the interior lights will go out. Closing the open
door(s) or drawer will reset the lights.
Over Temperature
IMPORTANT: If the Over Temperature Alarm activates, your food may spoil. See “Power Interruptions.”
Minimize door openings until temperatures return to normal.
The Over Temperature feature is designed to let you know when either the refrigerator temperature rises
above 48°F (9°C) or the freezer temperature rises above 15°F (-9°C) for longer than 1½ hours. The audio
alarm will shut off automatically when the temperature returns to normal, but the indicator light will continue
to flash to let you know that an Over Temperature condition occurred until an Over Temperature reset has
been performed. Press any Home Screen touch pad (Fridge, Freezer or Options) to turn off the indicator
light.
If the over temperature condition is still present when an Over Temperature reset is performed, the
indicator light will continue to reactivate every 1½ hours until refrigerator and freezer temperatures are
below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively.
Power Outage - When a power outage occurs, a Power Outage indicator light will be displayed. Press any
Home Screen touch pad (Fridge, Freezer or Options) to turn off the indicator light. The power outage
indicator light will not display when either Cooling Off or Sabbath mode is active, but will appear after
exiting Sabbath mode if a power outage occurred.
Sabbath Mode
Sabbath mode is designed for those whose religious observances require turning off the lights and ice
maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be
disabled, the interior lights will turn off, and the audio tones are muted. For most efficient refrigerator
operation, it is recommended to exit Sabbath mode when it is no longer required.
� Press and hold the SABBATH touch pad to turn on Sabbath mode. The display will count down 3,2,1.
This feature will remain on until Sabbath is deactivated. Press and hold Sabbath for three seconds until
Sabbath mode is turned off. The display will not show a countdown to turn off.
NOTE: If the Max Cool or Max Ice feature has been selected prior to turning on Sabbath mode, Max
Cool and Max Ice will be automatically canceled upon entering Sabbath mode.
