Temp Alarm
The temperature alarm system will alert you if the
freezer or fresh food temperatures exceed normal
operating temperatures due to a power outage or other event.
When activated, the TEMP ALARM light will illuminate.
If the freezer or fresh food temperatures have exceeded these
limits, the display will alternately show the current compartment
temperatures and the highest compartment temperatures reached
when the power was out. An audible alarm will sound repeatedly.
Press the TEMP ALARM key once to stop the audible alarm. The
TEMP ALARM light will continue to flash and the temperatures will
alternate until the temperatures have stabilized.
To turn off the temperature alarm, press and hold the TEMP
ALARM key for three seconds. The indicator light will go off.
Maximum Cold
When activated, maximum cold causes the fresh
food and freezer temperatures to drop to the
minimum settings on the control. This cools down the refrigerator
and freezer after extended door openings or when loading the
refrigerator or freezer with warm food.
NOTE: When the maximum cold feature is in operation, the up
and down keys for the refrigerator and freezer controls will not
operate.
To activate, press the MAX COLD key. Maximum cold will
deactivate automatically after 12 hours, or press the MAX COLD
key to deactivate manually.
Humidity Control
The humidity control feature causes the freezer
to defrost less frequently, conserving energy.
The HUMIDITY CONTROL indicator light will illuminate when
the feature is activated. To deactivate, press the HUMIDITY
CONTROL key again or open either door. The indicator light will
go out.
NOTE : Door openings will not deactivate the humidity control for
approximately one hour after activation.
Initial Temperature Settings
Temperatures are preset at 38°F (3°C) in the fresh food
compartment and 0°F (-18°C) in the freezer compartment. The
display will show the average compartment temperatures, based
on several measurement points within the compartment.
NOTE: Temperatures displayed may vary from set point due to
door openings or during defrost. Thermometers placed in the
refrigerator may record a temperature slightly above or below the
displayed temperature. This is normal as the displayed temper-
ature is an average.
Temperature Adjustments
„
Allow the temperature to stabilize for 24 hours after loading
the refrigerator before making any temperature adjustments.
„
The first press of the up or down arrow key shows the current
temperature set point.
„
Subsequent pressing of the up key or the down key
raises or lowers the temperature set point.
„
The display will show the new set point for approximately three
seconds, then return to the actual temperature currently within
that compartment.
„
Limit temperature changes to one degree at a time. Allow the
new temperatures to stabilize for 24 hours before making a
new temperature adjustment.
Fast Ice
When activated, fast ice reduces the freezer
temperature to the optimum setting for 24 hours
in order to produce more ice.
NOTE: When the fast ice feature is in operation, the up and
down keys for the freezer control will not operate.
Door Alarm
Press the DOOR ALARM key to activate or
deactivate the door alarm. The door alarm is
active when the indicator above the DOOR ALARM key is lit.
The door alarm alerts you when one of the doors has been left
open for five continuous minutes. An audible alarm will sound
every few seconds until the door is closed, or the door alarm is
deactivated.
Setting the Controls
The control panel is located at the top front of the fresh food compartment.
