Door Open

The Door Open indicator light will flash, an alarm will sound and the interior lights will turn off when a door has been open for longer than 10 minutes. When the door is closed, the audio alarm will reset and turn off, but the Door Open indicator light will continue to flash until the temperature is equal to or below 45°F (7°C) and 15°F (-9°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, respectively.

NOTE: To deactivate the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master Alarm Reset.”

Over Temperature

IMPORTANT: If the Over Temperature Alarm activates, your food may spoil. See the “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

1¹⁄₂ hours. The audio alarm will shut off automatically when the temperature returns to normal, but the indicator light will continue to flash until the Alarm is pressed to let you know that an over temperature condition has occurred.

If the over temperature condition is still present when an Over Temperature Reset is performed, the indicator light will continue to reactivate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively.

NOTE: The audio alarm will be disabled for subsequent occurrences of over temperature alarm condition. To enable the audio alarm, see “Master Alarm Reset.”

Call Service

If the Call Service indicator light is flashing, call for service. See the “Assistance or Service” section for information on calling for service.

NOTE: The audio alarm will be disabled for subsequent occurrences of the call service alarm condition. To enable the audio alarm, see “Master Alarm Reset.”

Holiday Mode

The Holiday Mode feature is designed for the traveler or for those whose religious observances require turning off the lights and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points and Deli Pan settings remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, it is recommended to exit the Holiday Mode when it is no longer required.

To fully activate Holiday Mode, you must follow the instructions below for both the control panel and dispenser panel (on some models).

IMPORTANT: If you do not activate Holiday Mode in both ways listed below, some functions you wish to disable will remain active.

Control Panel

In Holiday Mode, the temperature set points remain unchanged and the interior lights turn off.

Press HOLIDAY MODE to turn on Holiday Mode.

Press HOLIDAY MODE again to turn off Holiday Mode.

Dispenser Panel (on some models)

In Holiday Mode, the dispenser levers are disabled and the dispenser lights turn off.

To turn on Holiday Mode, press and hold ICE, LIGHT and LOCKOUT at the same time for 3 seconds. When the feature turns on, the indicator light around the LOCKOUT button will blink and “HOL” will appear on the dispenser display.

To turn Holiday Mode off, press and hold ICE, LIGHT and LOCKOUT at the same time for 3 seconds again.

NOTE: If the Max Cool feature has been selected prior to turning on the Holiday Mode feature, then the set points will remain at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, respectively, until the Max Cool feature times out. The refrigerator will then return to the previous temperature set points chosen prior to the selection of the Max Cool feature, but the lights and ice maker will remain off until the Holiday Mode is pressed again.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

IMPORTANT:

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.

Depending on your model, your water and ice dispensers may have one or more of the following features: a water level indicator in the dispenser tray, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

Water Dispenser

To Dispense Water:

1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad.

NOTES:

While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how many ounces of water have been dispensed.

To switch from ounces to cups, press and hold ICE and LOCK at the same time until the dispenser beeps after

3 seconds. To switch from cups to liters, press and hold the buttons for another 3 seconds. To switch back to ounces, repeat the process a third time.

2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
