USING THE REFRIGERATOR CONTROL
Figure 3
Control
Door Switch
During initial startup, or anytime power is interrupted, there
will be an approximate 5 minute delay before the refrigerator
starts. During this period the controller will be assessing the
temperature in the refrigerator and the display will appear er-
ratic, this is normal. The desired temperature set point can be
programmed during this start up period.
Starting your refrigerator
The refrigerator will begin start up when initially plugged in
or when power resumes after a power outage. At this time the
refrigerator will take approximately 5 minutes to begin running
as noted above. If the refrigerator has been turned off during
use, “OFF” will appear on the display. To start the refrigerator
from the “OFF” position press and hold the ON/OFF button for
three seconds.
Set temperature
To set temperature set point, press and continue to hold “SET”
button. After one second, set point will be displayed. While
holding “SET” button use the “WARMER” or “COLDER” button to
desired set point.
NOTE: Momentarily pressing & releasing “SET” button will ac-
cess information menu of control. Refer to page 15 for informa-
tion on this feature.
Refrigerator operation
The available temperature range of the refrigerator is 33° to 45°
(1° to 7° C). It may take up to 24 hours for your refrigerator to
reach desired temperature. This will depend on amount of con-
tents loaded and number of openings and closings of the door.
For best results allow refrigerator to “pull down” to desired set
point before loading. Once contents are loaded, allow at least
48 hours for temperature to stabilize before making any adjust-
ments to the set point.
Alarms
Your refrigerator control will monitor refrigerator function and
alert you with a series of audible and visual alarms.
t
Door Ajar Alarm: If the door has been left
open for over five (5) minutes, the alarm
will sound in one (1) second intervals. The
display panel will flash “do” and the LED light will be a steady
amber color. This will stop as soon as the door is closed.
t
High and Low Temperature Alarm: If your
unit reaches an unacceptable temperature
outside of your set point, the alarm will
sound in one (1) second intervals. The
display panel will flash either “hi” or “Lo”
depending upon the condition and the LED light will be a
steady amber color. “hi” indicates that the temperature is 10° F
(5.5°C) above the set point and “Lo” indicates that the tempera-
ture is 10° F (5.5°C) below the set point. The alarm will remain
active until the condition is corrected.
NOTE: During initial appliance start-up, the high temperature
alarm may sound until the interior temperature reaches set
point.
t
Temperature Sensor Fault: If the controller
detects that the temperature sensor is
not properly functioning, a temperature
sensor alarm will sound. “E1” will flash on the display, and an
alarm will sound. Please call Customer Service or
