Whirlpool GR2SHWXPQ02, GR2SHWXPS02 Crisper Humidity Control, Ice Maker, Water Dispenser

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.

Ice Maker

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Ice Production Rate

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

■The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches of ice in a 24-hour period.

■To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

■For maximum ice production (on some models), push the switch to ICE PLUS. The ice maker should produce 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period in the Ice Plus mode.

Remember

■The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

■Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

■Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice bin.

Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

■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.

NOTE: After 4 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, remove the glass and press the dispensing paddle again.

■When the refrigerator compartment door is open, the dispenser will not dispense water and the dispenser control panel will not display or receive input. The previous settings will be retained.

Dispense Water

1.Press a sturdy glass against the paddle to start dispensing.

2.Release pressure on the paddle and be sure the water has stopped dispensing before removing the glass.

NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

Remove and Replace Dispenser Paddle

The removable paddle is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the paddle. The paddle can be removed from the dispenser to be emptied or cleaned.

IMPORTANT: Press and hold LOCK OUT for 2 seconds to activate the dispenser lock feature before removing the dispenser paddle. See “The Dispenser Lock.”

1.Press up on the dispenser paddle, as shown, to release.
