Maytag W10321481A Crisper Humidity Control, Chilled Door Bin, Water and Ice Dispensers

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)

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.

Chilled Door Bin

(on some models)

Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin directly beneath the vents.

NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not associated with the Chilled Door Bin feature.

Chilled Door Bin Control

The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment.

■The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

Water Dispenser Buttons and Pad

There are three dispenser panel buttons primarily used in the water dispensing process:

■In the row of six buttons below the dispenser display screen, the fourth button (from the left) is the WATER selection button. It is used to select water instead of ice for dispensing.

■Centered below the row of six buttons is the WATER dispenser button. This is used to actually dispense water.

■In the row of six buttons, the fifth button (from the left) is the MEASURE FILL button. This activates the Measured Fill feature.

■Slide the door chill control to the left or down to reduce the flow of cold air to the bin and make it less cold.

■Slide the door chill control to the right or up to increase the flow of cold air to the bin and make it colder.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for

5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

NOTES:

■The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door 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.
