INTERIOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL

NOTICE: NEW FREEZING ROOM TEMPERATURE FEATURE

YOUR REFRIGERATOR HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO INCLUDE A FEATURE THAT WILL PREVENT THE CONTENTS OF THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT FROM FREEZING, EVEN IF THE ROOM TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. THIS IS A TOTALLY AUTOMATIC SYSTEM AND WILL REQUIRE NO ACTION ON YOUR PART. THIS SYSTEM PROVIDES THIS FEATURE BY PERIODICALLY TURNING THE LIGHTS IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT ON AND OFF. THE WARMTH FROM THESE LIGHTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY KEEP THE FOOD FROM FREEZING. THIS SYSTEM OPERATES AT ROOM TEMPERATURES FROM 15°C. TO -5°C. THE SYSTEM WILL TURN ON THE LIGHTS ONLY WHEN NEEDED. IF YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT THE REFRIGERATOR LIGHTS ARE ON, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED, THIS IS THE SYSTEM AT WORK, KEEPING YOUR FRESH FOOD FROM FREEZING.

How to Prevent Freezing

NOTE: IF YOU EXPECT THE ROOM TEMPERATURE TO FALL BELOW FREEZING, AND YOUR REFRIGERATOR HAS THE ICE/WATER DISPENSER FEATURE BUILT INTO THE FREEZER DOOR, OR HAS AN ICEMAKER, THEN YOU SHOULD PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS. THIS DEACTIVATES THE ICE/WATER SYSTEM AND WILL PREVENT THE EXTERNAL WATER LINES FROM FREEZING.

1.Disconnect power to the refrigerator.

2.Close valve on water line connecting refrigerator to main water supply.

3.Position a container under the refrigeration connection to collect any spillage and disconnect inlet water supply line from refrigerator. Also collect water from the inlet supply line.

4.Position the container under the plastic outlet tube that supplies the icemaker (on Refrigerator side) to collect any water spillage and disconnect the tube.

5.Position the container under the plastic outlet tube that supplies the water tank (on Freezer side) to collect any water spillage and disconnect the plastic outlet tube.

6.Reconnect the icemaker and water tank tubes to the water inlet valve.

7.Turn off the icemaker (inside freezer) by moving sensor arm to the “UP” locked position.

8.Remove the front grille.

9.Position a container under the water line connectors located under the freezer, to collect any spillage, and disconnect the two ends of the water line.

10.Allow water to drain from the two ends.

11.Reconnect the two ends of the water line.

12.Install the front grille.

13.Reconnect power to the refrigerator.

How to Restore to Normal Condition

NOTE: WHEN THE ROOM TEMPERATURE RISES ABOVE FREEZING, YOU CAN REACTIVATE YOUR ICE/WATER DISPENSER SYSTEM BY PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

1.Disconnect power to the refrigerator.

2.Reconnect the inlet water supply line to the refrigerator.

3.Open the valve on water line connecting refrigerator to main water supply.

4.Turn on the icemaker (inside freezer) by moving sensor arm to the “DOWN” unlocked position.

5.Reconnect power to the refrigerator.

6.Dispense water from freezer door. Throw away the first few glasses.

7.Check all connections for leaks. Tighten as necessary.
