NOTE: The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 6°F (-21°C to
-14°C). The set point range for the refrigerator is 34°F to 46°F 
(1°C to 8°C). 
Water Filter Status & Reset
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe 
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before 
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may 
be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable 
cysts.
The water filter display will help you know when it is time to 
change your filter. To change the filter, see the “Water Filtration 
System” section. 
■
After replacing the water filter, press RESET and hold for 
2 seconds to change the water filter display to 99 percent. 
Max Cool
The Max Cool feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, full 
grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures. 
■
Press MAX COOL to turn on the Max Cool feature. The Max 
Cool indicator light will remain on for 24 hours unless 
manually turned off.
NOTE: The temperature display will remain at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F 
(-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, 
respectively, while the Max Cool feature is enabled. After 
24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set 
points. 
Holiday Mode
The Holiday Mode feature is designed for the traveler or for those 
whose religious observances require turning off the lights and 
icemaker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points 
remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior 
lights will turn off. On some models, the Holiday Mode feature 
won't disable the ice and water dispenser. For these models the 
lock button can be used to disable the ice and water functions, 
but depressing the ice or water lever will still turn on the 
dispenser light. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is 
recommended to exit the Holiday Mode when it is no longer 
required.
■
Press HOLIDAY MODE to turn on the Holiday Mode feature. 
This feature will remain on until the Holiday Mode key is 
pressed again. 
NOTE: If the Max Cool feature has been selected prior to 
turning on the Holiday Mode feature, then the set points will 
remain at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and 
freezer compartments, respectively, until the Max Cool 
feature times out. The refrigerator will then return to the 
previous temperature set points chosen prior to the selection 
of the Max Cool feature, but the lights and ice maker will 
remain off until the Holiday Mode key is pressed again.
Alarm Functions
Master Alarm Reset
Pressing the OVER TEMPERATURE RESET will shut off the audio 
alarm, but this does not affect the indicator light the first time the 
OVER TEMPERATURE RESET is pressed. The indicator light will 
shut off once the OVER TEMPERATURE RESET is pressed the 
second time. The audio alarm will not sound again for the current 
condition that caused the alarm until a new condition occurs or 
until a Master Alarm Reset is performed.
A Master Alarm Reset can be performed by pressing the POWER 
(ON/OFF) twice or by turning the power to the refrigerator off and 
on again. See “Power On/Off Switch.” The indicator light will 
reactivate after the OVER TEMPERATURE RESET is pressed if 
the condition that caused the alarm is still present. See “Over 
Temperature,” “Call Service,” or “Door Open.”
Over Temperature
The Over Temperature feature is designed to let you know when 
either the refrigerator temperature rises above 48°F (9°C) or the 
freezer temperature rises above 15°F (-9°C) for longer than 
1
¹⁄₂ hours. The audio alarm will shut off automatically when the
temperature returns to normal, but the indicator light will continue 
to flash to let you know that an over temperature condition has 
occurred until the OVER TEMPERATURE RESET is pressed.
If the over temperature condition is still present when an Over 
Temperature Reset is performed, the indicator light will continue 
to reactivate every 1
¹⁄₂ hours until refrigerator and freezer
temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively.
IMPORTANT: If the Over Temperature Alarm activates, your food 
may spoil. See the “Power Interruptions” section for more 
information and minimize door openings until temperatures return 
to normal.
NOTE: To deactivate the audio alarm and indicator light, see 
“Master Alarm Reset.”
