CrisperHumidityControl

CrisperHumidityControl

(onsomemodels)

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.

ChilledDoorBin

(onsomemodels)

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 chilled.

Chilled Door Bin Control

The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment.

A. Door Chill control

Turn the control clockwise (right) to reduce the flow of cold air to the bin and make it less cold.

Turn the control counterclockwise (left) to increase the flow of cold air to the bin and make it colder.

IceMakerandStorageBin

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.

To turn the ice maker on, slide the control to the ON (left) position.

To manually turn the ice maker off, slide the control to the OFF (right) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) position.

REMEMBER:

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

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 or bucket. 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 storage bin.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

1.Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The sensor cover (“flipper door”) on the left wall of the freezer stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed.

2.Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make sure it is securely in place.

ChilledDoorBinWARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

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 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water, or for approximately 5 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.

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.
