ConvertibleDrawer Temperature Control
(on somemodels)
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
To store meat:
Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its optimal storage temperature.
To store vegetables:
Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.
Crisper Humidity Control
(on somemodels)
You can control the amount of humidity in the
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
Chilled Door Bin
(on somemodels)
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
A 
A. Chilled door bin control
■Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of cold air to the bin and make it less cold.
■Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow of cold air to the bin and make it colder.
Water and Ice Dispensers
(on somemodels)
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, chilled water, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
NOTES:
■The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.
■After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, 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) for an additional 5 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
■On some models: 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.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
To Dispense Water:
1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed.
NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
