Ice Off 

This icon will light up when you activate the “Ice Off” feature. In this case, the ice will not be produced. 
When ICE OFF blinks on the display panel,  reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it’s installed properly. 

Child Lock 

This icon will light up when you activate the “Lock” feature. In this case, you won’t be able to use the 
control panel. If you press and hold the Ice Off/Hold button for 3 seconds, you will be able to use the 
control panel again.

Cooling Off Mode (“OF & OF” code on the display)

This function is for store display refrigerators. It is not for customer use.

In cooling Off Mode, the refrigerator works but doesn’t make cool air. To cancel this Mode, 
press the Power Freeze and Freezer buttons at the same time for 3 seconds until a “Ding-
Dong” sound is heard and the unit will now cool.

Basic Temperature of Freezer and Fridge

The basic and recommended temperature of Freezer and Fridge compartments are -20ºC/3ºC.
If the temperature of Freezer and Fridge compartments are too high or low, adjust the temperature 
manually.

Controlling the Freezer temperature

The freezer temperature can be set between -14°C and -25ºC to suit your particular needs. Press the 

Freezer

 button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display. Keep in 

mind that foods like ice cream may melt at -16ºC.
The temperature display will move sequentially from -14°C and -25ºC. When the display reaches 
-14ºC, it will begin again at -25ºC.
Five seconds after the new temperature is set the display will again show the actual current freezer 
temperature. However, this number will change as the Freezer adjusts to the new temperature.

Controlling the Fridge temperature

The refrigerator temperature can be set between 7ºC and 1ºC to suit your particular needs. Press the 

Fridge

 button repeatedly until the desired temperature is shown in the temperature display.

The temperature control process for the Fridge works just like the Freezer process.
Press the 

Fridge 

 button to set your desired temperature. After a few seconds, the Fridge will begin 

tracking towards the newly set temperature. This will be reflected in the digital display.

-  The temperature of the freezer or the refrigerator may rise from opening the doors too 

frequently, or if a large amount of warm or hot food is placed in either side.

-  This may cause the digital display to blink. Once the freezer and refrigerator return to their 

normal set temperatures the blinking will stop.

-  If the blinking continues, you may need to “reset” the refrigerator. Try unplugging the 

appliance, wait about 10 minutes and then plug back in.
