CONTROLS
Allowing Cooling Time Before Use
To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside. During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.
Setting Cooling Temperatures
NOTE : When changing control settings, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.
Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system's control panel is located at the top of the fresh food compartment. The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh food compartments. The models with a two-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate compartment temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the freezer or fresh food compartment in the desired location.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up (Cold) or Down (Colder) button closest to the display. The first time you press the button, the display shows current setting you entered. Each press of the button after that changes the setting by one. The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes back to the current temperature.
ALARMS
Power Fail
In the event of a power failure, the 'power fail' alarm will sound three times. The 'power fail' alarm is an audible alarm only and does not display in the control panel,
High Temperature
When a warm refrigerator is first powered on, the 'power fail' alarm will sound and the current set points will be displayed for a few seconds. After 20 minutes the 'high temp' alarm will sound if the freezer temperature is above 26°F or if the fresh food temperature is above 55°F (or both are above). If the unit is above the temperatures mentioned in the paragraph above, the affected compartment temperature display (fresh food, freezer or both) on the control panel will display 'HI' and an alarm will sound. To disable the alarm press any key on the control panel. After which the control panel will then show the display temperature. The unit will continue to monitor the product temperatures for 'high temp' condition every 20 minutes. If the 'high temp' condition persists, the alarm will sound again and can be reset again. Contact a customer service representative if the high temp alarm continues. The audible portion of the alarm will silence itself once the product temperature is below 26°F for the freezer temperature and 55°F for the flesh food temperature. The control panel will still show 'HI' until it is acknowledged by the user by pressing any key on the control panel. After which the control panel will then show the display temperature.
Door Ajar
If the door has been left open for an extended period of time an alarm will sound. (Some models will have a 'door ajar' indicator on the control panel). The alarm will continue to sound until the door is closed.
Alarm Mute
Alarms can be muted (except 'power fail') by pressing a key combination on the control panel. Press and hold the 'freezer temperature up' key while at the same time pressing the 'fresh food temperature down' key three times. This sequence must be completed within 5 seconds for the alarms to be muted. Once the alarms have been muted, they will stay muted even if the refrigerator is powered down. To turn the alarm sounds back on, use the same key combination that was used to mute alarms.
IF TEMPERATURE DISPLAYS FLASH...
If ever you see "OP" or "SH" flashing, it may indicate that the control system has detected a performance problem. Call your service representative, who can interpret the flashing message. To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.
NOTE : The advanced electronic control system in your refrigerator includes additional display modes that service professionals can use to rapidly diagnose performance issues.
Turning the Cooling system on and off
You can disable the cooling system in your refrigerator by pressing the On/Off button located on the left side of the temperature control panel. To ensure that you do not accidentally turn off the cooling system, the button does not work unless you press and hold it for three seconds. Once you disable the cooling system, all refrigeration to the freezer and fresh food compartments stops. To turn the cooling system back on, you must again press and hold the On/Off button for three more seconds. Controls will display OF°F/OF °_ when turned off.
NOTE : Pressing the On/Off button on the control panel disables your refrigerator's cooling system but does not disconnect power to lights and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Each time you make settings on the control panel, a single audible tone acknowledges your input.

WATER To operate the water dispenser, press a glass against the WATER dispensing paddle. To stop dispensing water, pull the glass away from the dispensing paddle. Dispensed water is not cold. For colder water, add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water. A drip tray located at the base of the dispenser catches small spills and allows them to evaporate. This drip tray is removable and dishwasher safe. Do not pour water and excess ice in this area because there is no drain.
Priming the Water Supply System
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing lines, an advanced water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank to ensure ample supply to the ice and water dispenser at all times. This system needs to be completely filled with water when first connected to an external supply line.
CAUTION: For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 water filter to malfunction.
To prime the water supply system:
- 1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
- 2 Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. :It may take about :11/2 minutes.
- 3 Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).
NOTE : The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after three minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle
Ice Maker Operation & Care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding mechanism are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
Using the Ice Maker after Installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
IMPORTANT : Your ice maker is shipped from the factory device, simply release the dispenser paddle, with the wire signal arm in the ON position (side mounted) or with the switch turned ON (rear mounted). To ensure proper function of your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP position (side mounted) or turn the On/Off switch to the Off (0) position (rear mounted). If the ice maker is not turned off and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.
Turning the SIDE MOUNTED Ice Maker On and Off
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the DOWN or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker, raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or OFF position.
Turning the REAR MOUNTED Ice Maker On and Off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's ON/OFF power switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf out. Press the switch to the "0" position to turn it Off and press it to the 'T' position to turn it On. The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm to manually stop the ice maker
IMPORTANT: Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If you have a side mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow cubes partially frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes are harvested, they break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a solid mass of ice. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. The ice maker can't fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector blades and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker isjamming with small ice cubes or it's been six months or longer since you last changed your water filter replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained below.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn Off the ice maker.
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice container.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running Ice dropping into ice container
- Water valve opening or closing
- Ice loosening from tray
- Running water
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.
• Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
- If you turn Off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve.
CARE & CLEANING
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate.
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials or strong alkaline solutions.
NOTE If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
CAUTION
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
IMPORTANT If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
