Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)
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 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.
■ Slide the door chill control to the left or down to reduce the
flow of cold air to the bin and make it less cold.
■ Slide the door chill control to the right or up to increase the
flow of cold air to the bin and make it colder.
Water and Ice Dispensers
(on some models)
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed
ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a
lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
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 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)
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.
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.
■ The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a
backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control
buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When
the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only
reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings.
Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated,
additional presses of control buttons will change the
applicable settings.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
Water Dispenser Buttons and Pad
There are three dispenser panel buttons primarily used in the
water dispensing process:
■ In the row of six buttons below the dispenser display screen,
the fourth button (from the left) is the WATER selection
button. It is used to select water instead of ice for dispensing.
■ Centered below the row of six buttons is the WATER
dispenser button. This is used to actually dispense water.
■ In the row of six buttons, the fifth button (from the left) is the
MEASURE FILL button. This activates the Measured Fill
feature.
The dispenser pad is located on the back wall of the dispenser
cavity. When pressed, either water or ice will dispense,
depending on the chosen setting.
To Dispense Water (Standard):
1. To select water, press the WATER selection button. The
display screen will indicate when water is selected.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser pad OR place the
glass below the water dispenser and press the WATER
dispenser button.
3. Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.
NOTE: While dispensing water and for 5 seconds after
dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how
much water has been dispensed.
