Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings.

The Fast Cool feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.

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

When Fast Cool and/or Fast Ice are active, the temperature display will not change. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set points.

6th Sense™ Temperature Management

The 6th Sense™ feature assists with regulating the temperature inside the refrigerator. If a large quantity of warm food is placed in the refrigerator or warm air enters the refrigerator while the door is held open, 6th Sense™ activates to quickly restore the temperature to the set point.
