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 to let you know that an over temperature condition has occurred.

IMPORTANT: If the Over Temperature Alarm activates, your food may spoil. See the “Power Interruptions” section for more information and minimize door openings until temperatures return to normal.

Press OVER TEMPERATURE RESET to turn off the audio alarm and flashing indicator light.

The Over Temperature feature will continue to activate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and 15°F (-9°C), respectively.

Holiday Mode

The Holiday Mode feature is designed for the traveler who wishes to save additional energy or for those whose religious observances require turning off the lights and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the interior lights will turn off.

Press HOLIDAY MODE to turn on the Holiday Mode feature. This feature will remain on until the Holiday Mode key is pressed 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 32°F (0°C) and -10°F (-23°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments until the Max Cool feature times out. The refrigerator will then return to the previous temperature set points.
