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 Hute

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.

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

Automatic Ice & Water Dispenser

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.

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 :[1/z 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).

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. ]:t 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
