and turn off, but the Door Open indicator light will continue to flash 

until the temperature is equal to or below 45°F (7°C) and 15°F

Water and Ice Dispensers

(Dispensing Models Only)

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the 

following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, 

a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock 

option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

NOTE

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

 

„

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Before using 

 

„

the ice, fill and discard three full containers of ice to prepare 

the filter for use.
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door 

 

„

is open.

Holiday Mode

The Holiday Mode feature is designed for the traveler or for 

those whose religious observances require turning off the lights 

and ice maker. When you select this feature, the ice maker will 

be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. The temperature 

settings remain unchanged. On some models, the Holiday Mode 

feature doesn’t disable the ice and water dispenser. For these 

models the lock button can be used to disable the ice and water 

functions, but depressing the ice or water lever will still turn on 

the dispenser light. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it 

is recommended to exit the Holiday Mode when it is no longer 

required.

Press the 

 

„

HOLIDAY

 key to turn on the Holiday mode feature. 

This feature will remain on until you press the 

HOLIDAY

 key 

again.

NOTE

: If the Max Cool feature is selected prior to turning 

on the Holiday mode, the temperature settings will remain 

at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and 

freezer compartments, until the Max Cool feature time (24 

hours) is up. The refrigerator will then return to the previous 

temperature settings chosen prior to turning on the Max Cool 

feature, but the lights and ice maker will remain off until the 

Holiday mode key is pressed again.

Alarms

Over Temperature

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 has 

occurred.
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.

IMPORTANT

: If the Over Temperature Alarm activates, your 

food may spoil. See the 

Power Interruption

 section on page 12. 

Minimize door openings until temperatures return to normal.
