Close both doors to turn it off. The feature then resets and will reactivate when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.

When a door is open for 5 minutes and the cooling function is on:

The Door Open Icon and the normal screen is displayed.

The Door Open chime is sounded 3 times.

The Door Open Icon appears and blinks 7 times and then becomes constant.

If a door is left open, every 2 minutes, the Door Open chime sounds 3 times, the Door Open icon blinks 7 times and ten becomes constant.
