Additional Features

NOTE: The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings.

Fast Ice

The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.

■Press the FAST ICE button to turn on the Fast Ice feature. When the feature turns on, “FAST ICE ON” will appear on the dispenser display. The Fast Ice setting will remain on for

24 hours unless manually turned off.

NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change the freezer control to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream, harder.

Temperature Alarm

This feature constantly monitors the temperatures inside the refrigerator and freezer, alerting you if either compartment becomes unusually warm for an extended period of time due to a recent power outage, product malfunction or any other reason.

An alarm will sound, “TEMP ALARM” will appear on the display screen, and the screen will show the highest temperature reached in one of the compartments.

■Press SELECT ZONE to see the highest temperature reached in the other compartment.

■Press and hold RESET ALARM for 3 seconds to turn off the alarm. If internal temperatures have not returned to normal levels after 15 minutes, the alarm will sound again.

Door Ajar Alarm

The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator or freezer door is open for 5 minutes and the product cooling is turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close both doors to turn it off. The feature then resets and will reactivate when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.

Disabling Sounds

■To turn off all dispenser and control sounds, including the Door Ajar Alarm, press and hold LIGHT and FAST ICE at the same time for 3 seconds.

IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser or changing other settings, be sure to press both buttons at exactly the same time.

■To turn all sounds back on, press and hold LIGHT and FAST ICE at the same time for 3 seconds again.

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

(on some models)

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C). The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.

To store meat:

Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its optimal storage temperature.

To store vegetables:

Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures.

NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.

LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
