To activate Power Cool, press and hold the Fridge button for 3 seconds; the corresponding indicator will light up. To activate Power Freeze, press and hold the Freezer button for 3 seconds. Both modes run at full power for several hours and then return to the previous temperature setting, but note that both functions increase power consumption.

What should I do after installing the refrigerator before loading it with food?
After installing and turning on the refrigerator, allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours before loading it with food. Additionally, for first-time ice maker use, let the ice maker run for 1-2 days and discard the first 1-2 buckets of ice to remove impurities from the water supply system. Also, dispense 3 gallons of water (for about 6 minutes) to clear impurities from the water line before use.
What are the FreshZone temperature modes and what foods are they designed for?
The FreshZone has three modes: Cheese (around 37°F/3°C) for items like cheese, potatoes, and biscuits; Cold Drinks (around 33°F/1°C) for bottled water, juice, and beer; and Chill/Meat (around 29°F/-1°C) for steak, bacon, and cold cuts. Do not use the FreshZone for fruit or leafy vegetables as they may suffer cold-temperature damage, and do not store glass bottles in Chill/Meat mode as they may break.
What warranty coverage does the Dacor DRF365300AP refrigerator come with?
The refrigerator includes a 2-Year Full Warranty, a 6-Year Sealed System Warranty covering parts and labor, a 12-Year Sealed System Warranty covering parts only, and a 15-Year Compressor Warranty covering parts only. There is also a 60-day cosmetic warranty, and the water filter is covered for 30 days from the date of purchase. Proof of original purchase date is required for warranty service.
Why is my ice maker making a buzzing sound and how do I fix it?
The buzzing sound occurs when the ice maker function is activated but the water supply to the refrigerator has not been connected. To resolve this, press and hold the Ice Maker button for 3 seconds to turn the ice maker off. If the ice making chime rings repeatedly even with the water line connected, contact the waterline installer or a local Dacor service center.
What cleaning products should I avoid using on the refrigerator, and what is the correct cleaning method?
Do not use benzene, thinner, or household/car detergents such as Clorox, as these may damage the surface and cause a fire. Also, never spray water directly onto the refrigerator as this may cause electric shock. To clean, power off the refrigerator, wipe the interior and exterior with a moistened soft lint-free cloth or paper towel, then dry thoroughly with a dry cloth before powering it back on.
