Demo Mode allows the lights and control display to work
normally while disabling cooling, to save energy while
the appliance is on the showroom floor. See the FAQs
section of this manual for instructions on how to disable
Demo Mode.
During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each
compartment may rise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and
confirm the proper temperature has been restored once
the defrost cycle has completed.
It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to
reach the desired temperature.
If the appliance was stored for a long period of time or
moved on its side, it is necessary for the appliance to
stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.
Modern appliances require more operating time but use
less energy due to more efficient technology.
The appliances will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
Adding food and opening the door warms the freezer,
requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool
the freezer back down. In order to conserve energy, try to
get everything you need out of the freezer at once, keep
food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as
soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage
Guide.)
Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the
way, see the "Doors will not close correctly or pop open"
section.
The compressor will run longer under warm conditions.
At normal room temperatures (70 °F) expect your
compressor to run about 40 % to 80 % of the time.
Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more
often. The freezer should not be operated above 110 °F.
