Lennox Hearth W10167098A Crisper Humidity Control, Chilled Door Bin, Water and Ice Dispensers

Adjusting Controls

NOTE: Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■Slide the control one setting to the right to make the compartment colder.

■Slide the control one setting to the left to make it less cold.

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

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.

Disabling Sounds

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

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

NOTE: 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.

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

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). The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.

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.

■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 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.

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 2 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.

■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.
