Pressing and holding both LOCK and RESET FILTER simultaneously, see figure 15, starts a 3, 2, 1 second countdown. During the countdown, using the dispenser cancels the countdown AND no dispensing is permitted.

After 3 seconds, the ‘cooling off’ icon appears and flashes 7 times then remains on. All the rest of the icons including door open turn off.

Exception: if the UI is locked the user can still turn cooling off. The ‘COOLING OFFF’ icon will be displayed along with the lock icon. The only keys available to the user are the lock key to unlock the control which returns to the standard cooling mode. When any other key is pressed, an error beep will be sounded.

If the customer is in “normal mode” (not in locked mode) and the customer turns cooling off, only the cooling off icon will show. The only keys available to the customer is the cooling on/ off key dance combination. When any other keys are pressed, an error beep will be sounded.

The cooling off screen will stay on all the time and does not go to sleep. If cooling is off when power is interrupted, it will remain in the cooling off mode when power is restored.

During “COOLING OFF” (if the UI is not locked), ice and water dispensing is allowed.

Cooling On Mode

Pressing and holding LOCK and RESET FILTER again for 3 sec turns the cooling on. After cooling is turned on, the normal screen is displayed with the ice mode, light status, lock statue, filter status, or any alerts icons displayed exactly as before cooling was shut off.
