Additional Features
Max Cool and Max Ice
The Max Cool feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, full
grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.
The Max Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice
use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.

display.
The Max Cool feature will remain on for 24 hours unless

When Max Cool and/or Max Ice are active, the temperature
display will not change. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to
the previous temperature set points.
NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change
the freezer control to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a
colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream,
harder.
Sabbath Mode
Sabbath Mode is designed for those whose religious observances
require turning off the lights and dispensers.
In Sabbath Mode, the temperature set points remain unchanged,
but the interior and dispenser lights turn off, all sounds and alarms
are disabled, the dispenser display screen backlight turns off, and
the dispenser pads are disabled.

Power Outage Indicator
The power outage indicator lets you know if the power supply to
the refrigerator has been cut off and the freezer temperature has
risen to 18°F (-8°C) or higher.
When power has been restored, “PO” repeatedly flashes on the
display screen and the red Power Outage icon appears.
When the indicator is on, all other control and dispenser functions
are disabled until you confirm that you are aware of the power
outage.

To enable other functions, press MEASURED FILL to reset the
display screen to its normal status.
Door Ajar Alarm
The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator
or freezer door is open for 5 minutes and the product cooling is
turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close both
doors to turn it off. The feature then resets and will reactivate
when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.
NOTE: To mute the audible alarm while keeping the doors open,
such as while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press any
button on the control panel. The alarm sound will be temporarily
turned off, but the Door Ajar icon will still be displayed on the
dispenser control panel.

ICE and MEASURED FILL at the same time for 3 seconds.

To turn all sounds back on, press and hold ICE and
MEASURED FILL at the same time for 3 seconds again.
Dual Evaporator (on some models)
Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation
system, which includes two separate evaporators for the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep
foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves
food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer
burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps keep food
smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in the freezer.
NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when
your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any
buttons to turn it on.
Convertible Drawer Temperature Control
(on some models)
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can
be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at
its optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less
cold), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
