IQoTouch TM"Sabbath Mode"
The Sabbath Mode is a feature that disables portions
of the refrigerator and its controls for IQ-TouchTM,in
accordance with observance of the weekly Sabbath
and religious holidays within the Orthodox Jewish
community.
Sabbath Mode is turned ON and OFF by pressing and
holding the freezer temp "=" and the refrigerator temp
"+" indicators for five (5) seconds. The display shows
"Sb" while in Sabbath mode.
Inthe 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 intermittently
for about two (2) minutes. The alarm will then
silence on its own and a red high temperature icon
will display. The high temp icon will continue to display,
even if the door is closed, until the Sabbath mode is
exited and the icon reset. The refrigerator will function
normally once the door is closed, without any violation
of the Sabbath/Holidays.
For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage and
a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature,
please visit the web at http:\\www.star=k.org.

Automatic ice
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker
can produce ice within 24 hours, it can completely fill an
ice bin in about three (3) days,
When using the ice maker for the first time and in order
for the ice maker to work properly, it is necessary to
clear air from water filter tubing. Once ice maker begins
making ice, allow the bucket to fill completely, then
discard the first TWO (2) FULL buckets of ice. It will
take at least two (2) days to completely fill the bucket on
regular ice making mode or 1 1/2days on fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately four (4) pounds
of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
The following sounds are normal when the ice
maker is operating:
-Motor running
-Ice dropping into ice bin
-Water valve opening or closing
-Running water
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd
flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
Fast ice Function
Your refrigerator is equipped with a "Smart" Fast Ice
Function, that will, if activated at your user interface,
allow an increase in ice production. You do not need to
deactivate it, if not needed, your refrigerator will operate
on normal conditions.
Turning the ice maker on and off Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals,
