Using The Alarm Reset Button
You can disable or activate the alarm system by pressing and holding the Alarm Reset button for three seconds. Use it, for example, to turn off audible tones and/ or flashing indicator lights.
!CAUTION
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 Fresh Food compartments cool toward the current temperature settings. When temperature settings are reached, the On light displays green to indicate an active alarm system.
