4-1-4. Display function of Load condition    

• If Power Freeze Key + Power Cool Key are pressed simultaneously for 6 seconds during normal operation, the temperature setting display of fresh food and freezer compartments will blink ALL ON/OFF with 0.5 for 2 seconds.
• At this moment, If Fridge Key after Power Freeze Key + Power Cool Key is pressed, load condition display mode will be returned with alarm.
• Load condition display mode shows the load that micom signal is outputting.

  However, It means that micom signal is outputting, it does not mean whether load is operating or not. That is to say that though load operation is displayed, load could not be operated by actual load error or PCB relay error etc.

• Load condition display function will maintain for 30 seconds and then normal condition will be returned automatically.
• Load condition display is as below.

4-1-5. Exhibition mode setting function    

• If Power Freeze Key + Freezer Key are pressed simultaneously for 3 seconds during normal operation, show room mode will be started with buzzer sound(ding-dong).
  
• If above Power Freeze & Freezer Key are pressed one more time, show room mode will be canceled.
  
• If show room mode is selected, blinks “OF-OF” on the temperature setting display of the panel and it indicates the refrigerator has entered the show room mode.
  
• During show room mode, if fresh food and freezer compartments sensors are higher than 65 show room mode will be canceled automatically and freezing operation will be returned. (There is no buzzer sound when the show room mode is canceled by the temperature)
  
• Operation contents of show room mode
  
  • Display, Fan motor and etc operate normally, not to operate compressor only.
    
  • Defrost is not operated. (including french heater)
    
  • Display function of the initial real temperature is finished.
    
  • Under the condition of show room mode, show room mode will be operated when Power On after Power OFF.
    

4-1-6. Option setting function    
If Freezer Key + Fridge Key are pressed simultaneously for 12 seconds during normal

operation, fresh food and freezer compartments temperature display will be changed to option

setting mode.

* Key control in option mode

If the display changes to option setting mode, all displays will be off except freezer and fridge compartments temperature display as below.

(Fresh food and freezer compartments case will be explained only because all options are operated with the same method according to the option table.)

• For example, if you want to change freezer compartment standard temperature to (- 2°C) by operating option, do as below.
  

  This function is for changing the standard temperature.

  In (-19°C) of current temperature of freezer compartment, if you make the temperature lower to (-2°C) by the option, the standard temperature would be controlled (-21°C) Therefore, if you change the setting of temperature option to (-19°C) on the panel, the appliance will be operated with (-21°C).

  It means that standard temperature is controlled (-2°C) less than setting temperature in the display.

NOTE

• After changing to the option mode, fresh food compartment “0” , freezer compartment “0” will be displayed. ( Basically fresh food compartment “0”, freezer “0” would be set at shipping process, but setting value could be changed for the purpose of improving product at mass producing process.)
  

  – If fresh food compartment “0” shows only, temperature reference value of freezer compartment will be set and current freezer compartment temperature code will be displayed on the freezer temperature display.

• If freezer compartment “4” is set as below freezer compartment code after fresh food compartment “0 is set, standard temperature of freezer compartment will be lower than 28.4(-2.0°C).
  

  (Refer to the picture “changing the freezer compartment temperature”)

      
  

  : If you wait for 20 seconds after completing the setting, MICOM will save the setting value to the EEPROM and normal display will be returned and the option setting mode will be canceled.

  • Option changing method as above is the same as all RF266/265** model.
    
• By the same method as above, it is possible to control the fresh food compartment temperature, water supply, ice-maker harvest temperature/time, defrost return time, hysteresis by temperature, notch gap by temperature etc.
  
• Option function is set in the EEPROM at shipping process in the factory. You would better not to change the option of your own.
  

  Completing the setting is that option function return to normal display after 20 seconds. Do not turn off the appliance before returning to the normal display mode.

NOTE

• Temperature changing table of freezer compartment
  

ex) If you want to change the freezer standard temperature to 28.4 (-2°C)

• Temperature changing table of fresh food compartment
  

■Below options are applied to the applicable model with ice maker.

Do not set below options to the model without Ice Maker.

• To change the ice maker harvest waiting time
  

  This option controls the harvest waiting time for ice dispensing from Ice maker

ex) If you want to change the waiting time to 60 minutes

• To change the ice making sensor temperature of ice maker
  

This option Controls the standard temperature of judgment that is checking whether ice of ice maker is frozen completely or not.

ex) If you want to change the ice making sensor temperature to 5.0 (-15°C)
