REFRIGERATOR USE
Opening and Closing Doors (French door models)
There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together. There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left-hand refrigerator door.
■ When the left-hand door is opened, the hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.
■ When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically forms a seal between the two doors.
Using the Controls
The control center is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended set points as shown.
IMPORTANT:
■ The recommended settings should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
■ When the power is on, the temperature display shows the set point temperature of the compartment.
■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
To Turn Your Refrigerator Off/On:
■ Press the freezer (+) touch pad repeatedly until “OFF” appears in the freezer display. Allow a few seconds for the refrigerator to shut off. Neither compartment will cool.
■ Press either the refrigerator or freezer (-) touch pad to turn on the refrigerator.
Adjusting Controls
The REFRIGERATOR control adjusts the refrigerator compartment temperature. The FREEZER control adjusts the freezer compartment temperature. If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart as a guide.
To Adjust Set Point Temperatures: The first touch of the (+) or (-) touch pad displays the current temperature set point.
■ Press the (+) or (-) touch pads until the desired temperature set point is displayed.
NOTE: Except when first turning on the refrigerator, do not adjust either temperature control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
Additional Control Center Features
Max Ice
The Max Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by increasing ice production.
■ Press the Max Ice feature touch pad to set the freezer to the lowest temperature setting. Press the Max Ice feature touch pad again to return to the normal freezer set point.
NOTE: The Max Ice feature will automatically shut off in approximately 24 hours.
Humidity Control
The Humidity Control feature turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or when you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more energy when Humidity Control is on.
■ Press Humidity Control when the environment is warm and more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The indicator light will be lit when humidity control is ON.
■ Press Humidity Control to save energy when the environment is less humid.
Temp Alarm
The Temp Alarm feature provides temperature information in the event of a power outage.
Power outage: During a power outage, if the temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments exceed normal operating temperatures, the highest temperature reached will be displayed.
■ Press the Temp Alarm touch pad until the indicator light is lit, to turn on this feature. Press and hold Temp Alarm for 3 seconds until the indicator light goes off to turn off this feature.
Temperature alarm: An alarm will sound repeatedly if the freezer or refrigerator compartment temperatures exceed normal operating temperatures for an hour or more. The temperature displays will alternately show the current temperatures and the highest temperatures the compartments reached.
■ Press the Temp Alarm touch pad once to stop the audible alarm and alternating temperature displays. The Temp Alarm light will continue to flash until the refrigerator returns to the set temperature.
Door Alarm
The Door Alarm feature sounds a chime every few seconds when the refrigerator door has been left open for 5 continuous minutes. The chime will sound until the door is closed or Door Alarm is turned off.
■ Press the Door Alarm touch pad to turn this feature on or off. The indicator light will be lit when the Door Alarm feature is on.
Max Cool
The Max Cool feature assists with periods of high refrigerator use, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.
■ Press Max Cool to set the freezer and refrigerator to the lowest temperature settings. Press Max Cool again to return to the normal refrigerator set point.
NOTE: The Max Cool feature will automatically shut off in approximately 12 hours.
Filter Reset
The Filter Reset control allows you to restart the water filter status tracking feature each time you replace your water filter. See “Water Filtration System.”
■ Press and hold the Filter Reset touch pad for 3 seconds, until the Order or Replace light turns off.
User Preferences
The control center allows you to set user preferences, if desired.
Temperature Display (F_C)
This preference allows you to change the temperature display.
F - Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
C - Temperature in degrees Celsius
Alarm (AL)
This preference allows you to turn off the sound of all alarms.
ON - You will hear the alarm sound.
OFF - You will not hear the alarm sound.
To Access the User Preferences Menu:
- 1. Press and hold the Door Alarm touch pad for 3 seconds. The preference name will appear in the Freezer display and the preference status (F or C) or (ON or OFF) will appear in the Refrigerator display.
- 2. Use the Freezer (+) or (-) touch pads to scroll through the preference names. When the desired preference name is displayed, press the Refrigerator (+) or (-) touch pads to change the preference status.
- 3. Set your preferences by pressing and holding the Door Alarm touch pad for 3 seconds, or by shutting the refrigerator compartment door.
Ice Maker
IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See “Water Dispenser.”
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
NOTE: Turn off the ice maker before removing the ice storage bin to serve ice or to clean the bin. This will keep the ice cubes from dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment. After replacing the ice storage bin, turn on the ice maker.
Ice Production Rate
■ The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice approximately every 3 hours.
■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours between adjustments.
Remember
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained. 15
■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin
