FEATURES AT A GLANCE
Features may vary according to model
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
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 refrigerator compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings of your freezer and refrigerator compartments. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place
a separate thermometer inside the freezer or refrigerator compartment in the desired location.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up (∧) or Down (∨) 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.
Temperature Adjustment | |
---|---|
If refrigerator compartment is too warm | Adjust refrigerator control one degree colder by pressing up (∧) button. |
If refrigerator compartment is too cold | Adjust refrigerator control one degree warmer by pressing the down (∨) button. |
If Freezer compartment is too warm | Adjust Freezer control one degree colder by pressing up (∧) button. |
If Freezer compartment is too cold | Adjust Freezer control one degree warmer by pressing the down (∨) button. |
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.
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 refrigerator 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 (refrigerator, 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 refrigerator 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.
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 refrigerator 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°F when turned off.
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 refrigerator 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.
