OPTIONAL FEATURES

NOTE

While in Sabbath mode, neither the lights nor 

the control panel will work until Sabbath mode 

has been deactivated.

Adjustable door bins

Some models have adjustable door bins that can 

be moved to suit individual needs.
To move door bins:

1.  Lift bin straight up.
2.  Remove bin.
3.  Place bin in desired position.
4.  Lower bin onto supports until locked in place. 

Door storage

Door bins, shelves, and racks are provided for 

convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. 

Frequently used items can be quickly selected.
Some models have door racks or bins that can 

accommodate gallon-sized plastic drink containers 

and economy-sized jars and containers.
The dairy compartment, which is warmer than 

the general food storage section, is intended for 

short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter. 

Adjustable Interior Shelves

and Slide-Out Basket

Adjustable Interior Shelves

Multi-position adjustable interior shelves can 

be moved to any position for larger or smaller 

packages. The shipping spacers that stabilize the 

shelves for shipping should be removed  

and discarded.

The unit stays in Sabbath mode after a power 

failure recovery. It must be deactivated with the 

buttons on the control panel.

Power Fail

If your unit has lost power, the control panel will 

display “power fail” and the number of hours 

that your unit has been without power up to a 

maximum of 50 hrs. The alarm will sound until 

the condition is acknowledged by pressing the set 

button or any other button on the control panel.  

Door Ajar

If your door has been left open for more than 5 

minutes, the control panel will display “door ajar” 

and will sound an alarm until the door has been 

closed or any button is pressed on the control 

panel. If a button on the control panel has been 

pressed but the door has not been closed, “door 

ajar” will continue to be displayed on the control 

panel until the door has been closed.

Sabbath Mode

The Sabbath mode is a feature that disables 

portions of the appliance and its controls in 

accordance with observance of the weekly 

Sabbath and religious holidays within the 

Orthodox Jewish community.  
To turn Sabbath mode on, press and hold the 

“Options” button and “+” button for 5 seconds, 

after which “Sb” will be displayed on the control 

panel indicating that the unit is in Sabbath 

mode. To exit Sabbath mode, press and hold the 

“Options” button and “+” button for 5 seconds, 

after which the display will return to displaying 

the set point of the unit.
In the Sabbath mode, the High Temp alarm is 

active for health reasons. If a high temperature 

alarm is activated during this time, for example 

due to a door left ajar, the alarm will sound for 

about 10 minutes. The alarm will then silence on 

its own and a “high temp” icon will be displayed 

on the control panel. The high temp icon will 

continue to display even if the door is closed until 

Sabbath mode is exited and the icon reset.

For further assistance, guidelines of 

proper usage and a complete list of
