TURNING THE COOLING SYSTEM ON AND OFF

You can disable the cooling system in your refrigerator by pressing the On/Off button located on the left side of the temperature control panel. To ensure that you do not accidentally turn off the cooling system, the button does not work unless you press and hold it for three seconds. Once you disable the cooling system, all refrigeration to the freezer and fresh food compartments stops. To turn the cooling system back on, you must again press and hold the On/Off button for three more seconds.

IMPORTANT: Pressing the On/Off button on the control panel disables your refrigerator’s cooling system but does not disconnect power to lights and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

SYSTEM MONITORING ALARMS (Select Models)

The electronic control system continuously monitors your refrigerator/freezer for temperature consistency, doors left ajar, and power failures. Variances from normal operating conditions are communicated by audible tones and a set of four status indicator lights.

NOTE: Each time you make settings on the control panel, a single audible tone acknowledges your input.

USING THE ALARM RESET BUTTON

You can disable or activate the alarm system by pressing and holding the Reset button for three seconds. Use it, for example, to turn off audible tones and/or flashing indicator lights.

The alarm system does not automatically reset if you disconnect and reconnect your refrigerator’s power cord. It can only be reactivated by pressing the Alarm Reset button.

Once you disable the alarm system, you must again press and hold the Alarm Reset button for three more seconds to reset (activate) the alarm system.

The On indicator light remains off while the freezer and refrigerator compartments cool toward the current cooling settings. When temperature settings are reached, the On light displays green to indicate an active alarm system.
