Additional Features

Fast Ice

The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.

IMPORTANT: This feature only works if the ice maker is turned on. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■Press FAST ICE to turn on the Fast Ice feature. When the feature is on, the Fast Ice icon will appear on the dispenser display screen. The Fast Ice setting will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off.

■To manually turn off the Fast Ice feature, press FAST ICE again or adjust the freezer temperature set point. The Fast Ice icon will disappear when the feature is off.

NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change the freezer set point to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream, harder.

6th Sense™ Temperature Management

The 6th Sense™ feature assists with regulating the temperature inside the refrigerator. If a large quantity of warm food is placed in the refrigerator or warm air enters the refrigerator while the door is held open, the 6th Sense™ system activates to quickly restore the temperature to the set point.

NOTE: The 6th Sense™ system is always on when your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any buttons to activate it. The 6th Sense™ icon on the dispenser display screen indicates that the feature is functioning properly.

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.

Dual Evaporator (on some models)

Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation system, which includes two separate evaporators for the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps keep food smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in the freezer.

NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any buttons to turn it on.

Convertible Drawer 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 (-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.

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.

Crisper Humidity Control

(on somemodels)

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 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 left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment.

■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

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser pad 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 pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
