The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from
the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage
the power cord.

Sabbath Mode
Sabbath
Mode
The Sabbath Mode was designed for use on the
Jewish Sabbath and Holidays. The Sabbath Mode
feature makes it possible for observant Jews to
refrigerate and freeze food during the duration
of the holiday.
The Sabbath Mode feature can be set to override
typical reactions caused by your interaction with
the refrigerator. While in the Sabbath Mode, your
refrigerator will still operate. However, the
refrigerator will not respond to your actions.
While in the Sabbath Mode, you may notice
the fan running when the door is opened,
however, this is not a result of your actions.
The fan will operate at predetermined times.
The defrost heater will continue to defrost
the refrigerator and freezer and will be activated
on a timer. The defrost heater will not defrost
as a result of door openings or any consumer
actions.
 JTo activate the Sabbath Mode, hold
down the # button and  pad on the
control panel for 5 seconds. $ will be displayed
on the control. $ will remain in the display and
the pad and alarm button will remain lit until

gurgling sound like boiling water.
– Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping

refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
