Turning the Refrigerator On and Off

Turning the cooling system off stops the Refrigerator from running/cooling but it does not shut off the electrical power to the fridge.
 
  • To turn ON the cooling system, press either the REFRIGERATOR or FREEZER pad. The display will show the preset temperature settings of 37° Fahrenheit for the Refrigerator section and 0° Fahrenheit for the Freezer section.
  • To turn OFF the cooling system, press and hold the REFRIGERATOR and FREEZER pads simultaneously for 3 seconds. When the cooling system is OFF the display should read OFF.
