Freezer/

Power 

Freeze 

(3sec)

The Freezer button serves two purposes:

 

- To set the Freezer to your desired 

temperature.

 

- To turn the Power Freeze function on 

and off.

1)  To set the Freezer temperature,

touch the Freezer button. You can set the 

temperature between 5 °F (-15 °C) and 

-8 °F (-23 °C).

2)  Power Freeze function

Touch and hold this button for 3 seconds 

to decrease the time needed to freeze 

products in the Freezer.

It can be helpful if you need to quickly 

freeze easily spoiled items or if the 

temperature in the freezer has warmed 

dramatically (For example, if the door was 

left open).

When you use this function, the energy 

consumption of the refrigerator will 

increase. Remember to turn it off when 

you don’t need it and return the freezer 

to your original temperature setting. If you 

need to freeze a large amount of food,

activate the Power Freeze function at least 

24 hours before you put the food into the 

freezer.

Alarm/

Filter 

Reset 

(3sec)

The Alarm button serves two purposes:

 

- To turn the door open alarm on and off

 

- To reset the water filter life indicator.

1)  Door Alarm Function

If the door alarm is set to On, an alarm 

beeps if any refrigerator door is left open 

for more than three minutes. The beeping 

stops when you close the door. The door 

alarm function is pre-set to On in the 

factory. You can turn it off by pressing and 

then releasing the Alarm button. You can 

turn it back on in the same fashion. The 

icon lights up when the function is on.

When the Door Alarm function is on and 

the alarm sound is triggered, the Door 

Alarm Icon will blink while the alarm 

sounds.

2)  Water Filter Life Indicator Function

After you replace the water filter, touch 

and hold this button for 3 seconds to 

reset the water filter life indicator. When 

you reset the water filter life indicator, 

the Filter icon on the panel turns Off. The 

Filter icon will turn red to let you know it 

is time to change the water filter after six 

months (about 300 gallons). Some areas 

have large amounts of lime in their water, 

which causes the water filter to clog more 

quickly. If this is the case in your area, 

you will have to change the filter more 

frequently than every six months.

( 3 ) 

Energy 

Saver

Touching this button turns Energy Saver 

mode on and off. When you turn Energy 

Saver on, the Energy Saver icon lights. 

Turn Energy Saver off and the icon goes 

off. The Energy Saver function’s factory 

setting is “ON”. If condensation or water 

drops appear on the doors, turn the 

Energy Saver mode off.
