The display will show the average compartment temperatures, based on several measurement points within the compartment. NOTE: Temperatures displayed may vary from set point due to door openings or during defrost. Thermometers placed in the refrigerator may record a temperature slightly above or below the displayed temperature. This is normal as the displayed temperature is an average. Temperature Adjustments „„ Allow the temperature to stabilize for 24 hours after loading the refrigerator before making any temperature adjustments. „„ The first press of the up or down arrow key shows the current temperature set point. „„ Subsequent pressing of the up key or the down key raises or lowers the temperature set point. „„ The display will show the new set point for approximately three seconds, then return to the actual temperature currently within that compartment. „„ Limit temperature changes to one degree at a time. Allow the new temperatures to stabilize for 24 hours before making a new temperature adjustment. Fast Ice When activated, fast ice reduces the freezer temperature to the optimum setting for 24 hours in order to produce more ice. NOTE: When the fast ice feature is in operation, the up and down keys for the freezer control will not operate. Door Alarm Press the DOOR ALARM key to activate or deactivate the door alarm. The door alarm is active when the indicator above the DOOR ALARM key is lit. The door alarm alerts you when one of the doors has been left open for five continuous minutes. An audible alarm will sound every few seconds until the door is closed, or the door alarm is deactivated. Temp Alarm The temperature alarm system will alert you if the freezer or fresh food temperatures exceed normal operating temperatures due to a power outage or other event. When activated, the TEMP ALARM light will illuminate. If the freezer or fresh food temperatures have exceeded these limits, the display will alternately show the current compartment temperatures and the highest compartment temperatures reached when the power was out.

The TEMP ALARM light will continue to flash and the temperatures will alternate until the temperatures have stabilized. To turn off the temperature alarm, press and hold the TEMP ALARM key for three seconds. The indicator light will go off. Maximum Cold When activated, maximum cold causes the fresh food and freezer temperatures to drop to the minimum settings on the control. This cools down the refrigerator and freezer after extended door openings or when loading the refrigerator or freezer with warm food.
