Maytag MSB26C6MDE Manuale Proprietario

Your refrigerator and freezer will not cool when cooling is 
turned off.

■

To turn cooling off, press and hold the OPTIONS and FILTER 
buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. 

IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally locking the dispenser 
or changing other settings, be sure to press both buttons at 
exactly the same time.

When cooling is off, “COOLING OFF” will appear on the 
display screen.

■

Press and hold OPTIONS and FILTER for 3 seconds again to 
turn cooling back on. 

The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice 
use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period. 

The SpeedCool feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, 
full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.  

■

To turn on the Fast Ice feature, press OPTIONS. “Fast Ice” 
will appear on the display screen.

The Fast Ice feature will remain on for 24 hours unless 
manually turned off. 

■

To turn on the SpeedCool feature, press OPTIONS a second 
time. The Fast Ice feature will turn off, and the SpeedCool 
feature will turn on. “SpeedCool” will appear on the display 
screen.

The SpeedCool feature will remain on for 24 hours unless 
manually turned off.

■

To turn on both the Fast Ice and SpeedCool features at the 
same time, press OPTIONS a third time. Both “Fast Ice” and 
“SpeedCool” will appear on the display screen.

Both features will remain on for 24 hours unless manually 
turned off.

■

To turn both features off, press OPTIONS a fourth time. Both 
“Fast Ice” and “SpeedCool” will disappear from the display 
screen.

When Fast Ice and/or SpeedCool are active, the temperature 
displays will not change. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to 
the previous temperature set points.

NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change 
the freezer control to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a 
colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream, 
harder.

The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the 
refrigerator or freezer door is open for 5 minutes and the product 
cooling is turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close 
both doors to turn it off. The feature then resets and will 
reactivate when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.

NOTE: To mute the audible alarm while keeping the doors open, 
such as while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press any 
button on the control panel. The alarm sound will be temporarily 
turned off, but “Door Ajar” will still be displayed on the dispenser 
control panel. 

■

To turn off all control and dispenser sounds, press and hold 
LIGHT and FILTER at the same time for 3 seconds.

■

To turn all sounds back on, press and hold LIGHT and FILTER 
at the same time for 3 seconds again.

Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation 
system, which includes two separate evaporators for the 
refrigerator and freezer compartments. 

Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep 
foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves 
food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer 
burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps keep food 
smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in the freezer. 

NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when 
your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any 
buttons to turn it on.

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. 
The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can 
be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board 
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C). 

Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at 
its optimal storage temperature.

Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal 
storage temperatures. 

NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less 
cold), toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours 
between adjustments.

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed 
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and 
HIGH.

LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. 

HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables. 

■

The dispensing system will not operate when either door 
(refrigerator or freezer) is open.

■

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill 
water.

■

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced. Wait 72 hours for full ice 
production.

■

The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off 
automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control 
buttons and dispenser pad have not been used for 2 minutes 
or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control 
button will only reactivate the display screen, without 
changing any settings.
