Chilled Door Bin

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.

Calibrate Measured Fill

Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the Measured Fill feature. For optimum performance of your water dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill.

IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating Measured Fill.

1.Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the dispenser tray, centered in front of the water dispenser pad.

NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be provided.

2.Press and hold the OPTIONS and LOCK buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The words “Back” and “1 Cup” will appear on the display screen. Also, the Calibrate Measured Fill icon will illuminate and remain lit while the Measured Fill feature is being calibrated.

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

NOTES:

The dispensing system will not operate when either door (refrigerator or freezer) 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 pads 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. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within

2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.

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 pad 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 pad (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.

NOTE: You may press the ICE MODE button under the word “Back” at any time to exit calibration mode. The Calibrate Measured Fill icon will turn off.

3.Using your hand (not the measuring cup), press and release the water dispenser pad in order to dispense water to the 1 cup fill line.

NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and press “Back” to restart the calibration process.

4.When 1 cup of water has been correctly dispensed into the measuring cup, press the MEASURED FILL button under the word “Confirm” to confirm the calibration.

When Measured Fill calibration has been confirmed, the display will return to the home screen.

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 “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.
