Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is cooled to prevent “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.

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.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

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.

NOTE:

■Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

■If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the base grille filter is properly installed.

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

■After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until you draw and discard 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water, or for approximately 3 minutes after the water begins dispensing. The flushing process cleans the water system and clears air from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

■Allow several 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 crush to cube, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1.Press the button to select the desired type of ice.

2.Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Dispenser Light

Style 1: The dispenser light can be turned on by pressing the ON button.

Style 2: When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or NIGHT LIGHT.

ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn on the dispenser light.

NIGHT LIGHT: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select the Night Light. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.

OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn off the dispenser light.

The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode). See “Troubleshooting” for more information.
