Lift the front edge up and pull it out to replace the shelf.

Next, rest the side edges on any pair of shelf rails and carefully push shelf back into position. Some Top-Freezer refrigerator models have door bins (or racks) to accommodate taller or larger items.Before removing door bins (or racks) remove all the food items.

Push on the bin (or rack) sides to release from the locking tabs. Then, pull straight out to install the door bin (or rack) simply push straight ahead. You may hear the sides lock into the tabs.When cleaning shelves and/or door bins, allow any glass components to warm to room temperature before immersing in warm water to prevent damage.

The Sabbath mode is a feature (available on some models) that disables portions of the refrigerator and its control in accordance with the observance of the weekly Sabbath and religious holidays within the Orthodox Jewish community.

Depending on your model, the Sabbath mode is turned ON or OFF by simultaneously pressing and holding for 5 seconds both the:“v” and “+” orThe freezer “-“ and the refrigerator “+” Your Owner’s Manual will provide instructions specific to your model.

The display will show “Sb” while in Sabbath mode. Repeat the steps above to deactivate.

Some things to keep in mind when your refrigerator is in Sabbath mode:

Neither the lights, dispenser nor display will work until Sabbath mode is deactivated. The ice maker will complete the cycle it has already initiated. The ice cube compartment will remain cold.The HIGH TEMP alarm will remain active.

For example, if you inadvertently left the refrigerator door open for a period of time, the HIGH TEMP alarm will signal for safety reasons. Once the door is closed, the refrigerator will function normally without any violation of the Sabbath / Holidays.

Depending on the type of compressor your refrigerator has could impact how frequently it runs. It is normal for the compressor to go on and off frequently.

The thermostat keeps the refrigerator at a constant temperature. Single speed compressors (most Top-Freezer and Side-by-Side refrigerator models)

It is normal for the refrigerator to work longer when the room or outside weather is too warm or hot.If the refrigerator doors are opened too frequently or too long allows warm air to enter the product and therefore causes it to run more often.

Freezer temperature may be set too cold. It is recommended to set the refrigerator section to a warmer setting – this will adjust the freezer temperature.

Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

Check the door seal/gasket. Air leaks in the door seal/gasket will cause the refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures.
