Adjusting the Controls
To adjust the set points, press the TEMPERATURE button. When
adjust mode is activated, adjusting information will appear on the
display screen.
The set point for only one compartment (refrigerator or freezer)
appears on the display screen, indicated by “FRIDGE” for the
refrigerator or “FREEZER” for the freezer. To change
compartments, press the SELECT ZONE button.
NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press the UNIT button
when adjust mode is activated. To return the display setting to
Fahrenheit, press UNIT again.
Refrigerator Controls
In adjust mode, make sure the “FRIDGE” zone is selected. The
set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C).
■ Press “-” to lower the set point.
■ Press “+” to raise the set point.
Freezer Controls
In adjust mode, make sure the “FREEZER” zone is selected. The
set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to -15°C).
■ Press “-” to lower the set point.
■ Press “+” to raise the set point.
Press HOME to exit adjust mode, or allow about 15 seconds of
inactivity and adjust mode will turn off automatically.
Additional Features
NOTE: The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a
backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control
buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the
backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only
reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within
30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional
presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings.
Fast Ice
The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice
use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.
■ Press the FAST ICE button to turn on the Fast Ice feature.
When the feature turns on, “FAST ICE ON” will appear on the
dispenser display. The Fast Ice setting will remain on for
24 hours unless manually turned off.
NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change
the freezer control to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a
colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream,
harder.
Temperature Alarm
This feature constantly monitors the temperatures inside the
refrigerator and freezer, alerting you if either compartment
becomes unusually warm for an extended period of time due to a
recent power outage, product malfunction or any other reason.
An alarm will sound, “TEMP ALARM” will appear on the display
screen, and the screen will show the highest temperature
reached in one of the compartments.
■ Press SELECT ZONE to see the highest temperature reached
in the other compartment.
■ Press and hold RESET ALARM for 3 seconds to turn off the
alarm. If internal temperatures have not returned to normal
levels after 15 minutes, the alarm will sound again.
Door Ajar Alarm
The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the
refrigerator or freezer door is open for 5 minutes and the product
cooling is turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close
both doors to turn it off. The feature then resets and will
reactivate when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.
Disabling Sounds
■ To turn off all dispenser and control sounds, including the
Door Ajar Alarm, press and hold LIGHT and FAST ICE at the
same time for 3 seconds.
IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser
or changing other settings, be sure to press both buttons at
exactly the same time.
■ To turn all sounds back on, press and hold LIGHT and FAST
ICE at the same time for 3 seconds again.
Convertible Drawer Temperature Control
(on some models)
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can
be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).
The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at
the lowest meat setting.
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at
its optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal
storage temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less
cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.
