The
Power Freeze
function substantially speeds up the freezer compressor, causing the freezer to cool down
r
apidly to a temperature you choose. When you press the Power Freeze button, the Power Freeze
icon lights up.
Power Freeze is useful if you need to quick freeze an item, to make a large quantity of ice, or to cool
the freezer rapidly if it has warmed dramatically (for example, if the door was left open).
To turn off Power Freeze, press the Power Freeze button again. Power Freeze turns off automatically
after 21/2 hours to decrease energy consumption.
Cooling Off mode (also called Shop mode), is designed for use by retailers when they are displaying
refrigerators on the shop fl oor. In Cooling Off mode, the refrigerator's fan motor and lights work
normally, but the compressors do not run, and the refrigerator and freezer do not get cold.
To start Cooling Off mode, press and hold the Energy Saver button and the Power Freeze button for 3
seconds during normal operation. The refrigerator chime sounds and the temperature display fl ashes OF OF.
To cancel Cooling Off mode, press and hold the Energy Saver and the Power Freeze buttons again for
3 seconds.
The Alarm/Hold 3 sec for Filter Reset button serves two purposes:
- To turn the door open alarm on and off
- To reset the water fi lter life indicator.
1) Door Alarm Function
If the door alarm is set to On, an alarm beeps if any refrigerator door is left open for more than three
minutes. The beeping stops when you close the door. The door alarm function is pre-set to On in the
factory. You can turn it off by pressing and then releasing the Alarm/Hold button. You can turn it back
on in the same fashion. The icon lights up when the function is on.
2) Water Filter Life Indicator Function
After you replace the water fi lter, press and hold the Alarm/Hold 3 sec for Filter Reset button to re-set
the water fi lter life indicator. When you re-set the water fi lter life indicator, the Filter icon on the panel
turns blue, green, or yellow.
The Filter icon will turn red to let you know it is time to change the water fi lter after six months
(about 300 gallons).
Some areas have large amounts of lime in their water, which causes the water fi lter
to clog more quickly. if this is the case in your area, you will have to change the fi lter
more frequently than every six months.
