Door Open

The Door Open indicator light will flash, an

alarm will sound and the interior lights will turn

off when a door has been open for longer than

10 minutes. When the door is closed, the audio alarm will reset

and turn off, but the Door Open indicator light will continue to flash

until the temperature is equal to or below 45°F (7°C) and 15°F

(-9°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, respectively.
NOTE: To deactivate the audio alarm and indicator light, see

Master Alarm Reset.

Call Service

If the

Call Service indicator light is flashing,

call for service. See the Warranty and Service

section for information.
NOTE: To deactivate the audio alarm and indicator light, see

Master Alarm Reset below.

Master Alarm Reset

Pressing the

OVER TEMPERATURE RESET

key once will shut off the audio alarm and the

indicator light. 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 key twice or

by turning the power to the refrigerator off

and on again. See Turning the Main Power Switch On/Off on page

3. The indicator light will reactivate after a master alarm reset

if the condition that caused the alarm is still present. See Over

Temperature, Door Open

or Call Service above.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(Dispensing Models Only)

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the

following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice,

a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock

option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
NOTE:

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

„

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Before using

„

the ice, fill and discard three full containers of ice to prepare

the filter for use.
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door

„

is open.

Holiday Mode

The Holiday Mode feature is designed for the traveler or for

those whose religious observances require turning off the lights

and ice maker. When you select this feature, the ice maker will

be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. The temperature

settings remain unchanged. On some models, the Holiday Mode

feature doesn’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 the

„

HOLIDAY key to turn on the Holiday mode feature.

This feature will remain on until you press the

HOLIDAY key

again.

NOTE: If the Max Cool feature is selected prior to turning

on the Holiday mode, the temperature settings will remain

at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and

freezer compartments, until the Max Cool feature time (24

hours) is up. The refrigerator will then return to the previous

temperature settings chosen prior to turning on the Max Cool

feature, but the lights and ice maker will remain off until the

Holiday mode key is pressed again.

Alarms

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

1½ 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.
If the over temperature condition is still present when an Over

Temperature Reset is performed, the indicator light will continue

to reactivate every 1½ 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 Interruption section on page 12.

Minimize door openings until temperatures return to normal.
NOTE: To deactivate the

audio alarm and indicator

light, see Master Alarm

Reset.
