The control panel enables you to view and modify features and options on your refrigerator.


Temperature Control

  • When the refrigerator is first turned on, the powerful cooling system will automatically cool both refrigerator and freezer  compartments to their set temperatures.
  • This will take between 2 – 3 hours.
  • The two compartment temperatures are accurately and independently controlled and do not change with the temperature or humidity of the surroundings; whether summer or winter.
  • If you wish to alter the temperature of either the fresh food compartment or freezer compartment, this can be easily done by using the internal control panel located on the back wall of the refrigerator compartment.

Fresh Food Compartment

The fresh food compartment light will automatically be illuminated. The temperature for this compartment will show as a series of lights.

  • The temperature may be altered by pressing the Up Arrow #3.PNG or Down Arrow #2.PNG buttons. One press on either of these buttons will reduce or increase the number of lights by one which indicates a small change in temperature.
  • Fewer lights illuminated means a cooler temperature for the compartment selected.

 

Freezer Food Compartment

  • To adjust the freezer temperature press the Sabbath Mode Image #6.PNG button so the freezer compartment light is illuminated.
  • The freezer temperature can be altered by pressing the Up Arrow #3.PNG or Down Arrow #2.PNG buttons.
  • One press on either of these buttons will reduce or increase the number of lights illuminated which indicates a small change in temperature.
  • Fewer lights illuminated means a cooler temperature for the compartment selected.

Door Alarms

  • While either door remains open, subsequent beeps will sound every 30 seconds for 5 minutes.
  • A continuous alarm will sound if either of the doors have been left open for 5 minutes or longer and the interior compartment light(s) will turn off. The alarm will stop only when the door(s) is closed.

  • The display will not function except to indicate Sabbath mode is active as stated above.
  • Opening the door will not affect the compressor or fans.
