Built-in Bottom Mount Dispening
Quick Start Guide

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly installed according to the appliance’s Installation Guide.
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer temperature controls are set to the recommended set points at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the temperature controls are still set to the recommended set points. The recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

• The recommended settings should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

• When the power is on, the temperature display shows the set point temperature of the compartment.

•  Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
  NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

• If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

• Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.

Viewing the Temperature in Degrees Celsius

• Press C touch pad to display degree Celsius, press F touch pad to display degree Fahrenheit.
  NOTE: If the freezer temperature is below zero, the negative sign next to the freezer display will light up. This is normal.

Adjusting Temperatures

Pressing the Freezer or Fridge picture button once will display the compartment temperature.
Press + or – to adjust temperature. Press Save to set the temperature.
The Refrigerator temperature range will be from 34°F to 42°F (1°C to 6°C), with the factory default temperature being 37°F (3°C).
The Freezer temperature range will be from -5°F to 3°F ( -21°C to -16°C), with the factory default temperature being 0°F (-18.0°C).

Water Filter Indicator and Reset
The water filter indicator, located on the control panel, will help you know when to change the water filter.
A replacement water filter should be ordered when “Order” is displayed. It is recommended that you replace the filter when “Replace” is displayed or when water flow to your water dispenser and/or ice maker decreases noticeably. See “Changing the Water Filter” later in this section.
After changing the water filter, press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds until the “Order Filter” or “Replace Filter” indicator light disappears.
Filter Reset
After changing the filter, press and hold Filter Reset button for 3 seconds. The display will count down 3,2,1, the filter reset will flash and return to the original display.
See the “Water Filtration System” section in Owner’s Manual for steps to remove and replace filter.

Max Cool/ Max Ice

Max Cool
The Max Cool feature assists with full grocery loads, temporarily warm room temperatures, or during heavy door opening use.

• Press OPTIONS, and then press MAX COOL to turn on the Max Cool feature. Max Cool will remain activated for 24 hours unless manually turned off.
  NOTE: The temperature display for the refrigerator compartment will remain at the user’s set point, but the actual temperature of the refrigerator compartment will drop to 34°F (1°C), while the Max Cool feature is enabled. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set points.

Max Ice
The Max Ice feature speeds up the ice production rate to assist with periods of heavy ice usage.

• Press OPTIONS, and then press MAX ICE to turn on the Max Ice feature. Max Ice will remain activated for 24 hours unless manually turned off.
  NOTE: The temperature display for the refrigerator and freezer compartments will remain at the user’s set points, but the actual temperature of the freezer compartment will drop to -5°F (-21°C), while the Max Ice feature is enabled. After 24 hours, the freezer will return to the previous temperature set point.

Alarm Functions
Door Open – An alarm will sound when a door has been open for longer than 5 minutes. Closing the door or drawer, or pressing any Home Screen touch pad (Fridge, Freezer or Options) will reset the Door Open feature and turn off the audio alarm.
NOTE: If the door(s) or drawer are left open for 10 minutes the interior lights will go out. Closing the open door(s) or drawer will reset the lights.
Over Temperature
IMPORTANT: If the Over Temperature Alarm activates, your food may spoil. See “Power Interruptions.” Minimize door openings until temperatures return to normal.
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 occurred until an Over Temperature reset has been performed. Press any Home Screen touch pad (Fridge, Freezer or Options) to turn off the indicator light.
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.
Power Outage – When a power outage occurs, a Power Outage indicator light will be displayed. Press any Home Screen touch pad (Fridge, Freezer or Options) to turn off the indicator light. The power outage indicator light will not display when either Cooling Off or Sabbath mode is active, but will appear after exiting Sabbath mode if a power outage occurred.

Sabbath Mode
Sabbath mode is designed for those whose religious observances require turning off the lights and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled, the interior lights will turn off, and the audio tones are muted. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit Sabbath mode when it is no longer required.

• Press and hold the SABBATH touch pad to turn on Sabbath mode. The display will count down 3,2,1.
  This feature will remain on until Sabbath is deactivated. Press and hold Sabbath for three seconds until Sabbath mode is turned off. The display will not show a countdown to turn off.

NOTE: If the Max Cool or Max Ice feature has been selected prior to turning on Sabbath mode, Max Cool and Max Ice will be automatically canceled upon entering Sabbath mode.
