Additional Features
Max Cool and Max Ice
The Max Cool feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.
The Max Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.
■To turn on the Max Cool feature, press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press OPTIONS again to activate the feature. The Max Cool icon will appear on the dispenser display.
The Max Cool feature will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off. To manually turn it off, press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode (unless you are already in Options mode), then press OPTIONS again. When the feature has been turned off, the Max Cool icon will disappear on the dispenser display.
■To turn on the Max Ice feature, press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press the TEMPERATURE button to activate the feature. The Max Ice icon will appear on the dispenser display.
The Max Ice feature will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off. To manually turn it off, press the OPTIONS button to enter Options mode (unless you are already in Options mode), then press TEMPERATURE. When the feature has been turned off, the Max Ice icon will disappear on the dispenser display.
When Max Cool and/or Max Ice are active, the temperature display will not change. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set points.
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.
Sabbath Mode
Sabbath Mode is designed for those whose religious observances require turning off the lights and dispensers.
In Sabbath Mode, the temperature set points remain unchanged, but the interior and dispenser lights turn off, all sounds and alarms are disabled, the dispenser display screen backlight turns off, and the dispenser pads are disabled.
■To turn on Sabbath Mode, press and hold LIGHT and OPTIONS at the same time for 3 seconds. When the feature turns on, “Sabbath Mode” will appear on the dispenser display.
■To turn off Sabbath Mode, press and hold LIGHT and OPTIONS at the same time for 3 seconds again.
Power Outage Indicator
The power outage indicator lets you know if the power supply to the refrigerator has been cut off and the freezer temperature has risen to 18°F (-8°C) or higher.
When power has been restored, “PO” repeatedly flashes on the display screen and the red Power Outage icon appears.
When the indicator is on, all other control and dispenser functions are disabled until you confirm that you are aware of the power outage.
■To enable other functions, press MEASURED FILL to reset the display screen to its normal status.
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.
NOTE: To mute the audible alarm while keeping the doors open, such as while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press any button on the control panel. The alarm sound will be temporarily turned off, but the Door Ajar icon will still be displayed on the dispenser control panel.
Disabling Sounds
■To turn off all control and dispenser sounds, press and hold ICE and MEASURED FILL at the same time for 3 seconds.
■To turn all sounds back on, press and hold ICE and MEASURED FILL at the same time for 3 seconds again.
Dual Evaporator (on some models)
Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation system, which includes two separate evaporators for the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps keep food smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in the freezer.
NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any buttons to turn it on.
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).
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 right (less cold), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.
Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
