Crisper Humidity Control

Freezer Control:

■Press FREEZER TEMP to view the current set point for the freezer.

■Press FREEZER TEMP again to adjust the set point. The setting will decrease by 1 with each press of the button, looping back to “7” after reaching “1.”

After 60 seconds of inactivity, any changes will be saved and the display will return to the home screen.

Cooling On/Off

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

■To turn cooling off, press and hold the FRIDGE TEMP and FILTER RESET buttons at the same time for 3 seconds.

Additional Features

Door Ajar Alarm

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 the Door Ajar icon will still be displayed on the dispenser control panel.

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 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.

Water and Ice Dispensers

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. 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 lever 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.

Flush the Water System

Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter, and prepares the water filter for use.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

1.Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.

2.Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow.

3.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.

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

Convertible Drawer Temperature

Control

(on some models)

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).

To store meat:

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

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

■Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

■If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.

■With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

■If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” or “Problem Solver” for suggestions.
