added. Max Cool sets the refrigerator temperature to 34°F (1°C)
and the freezer temperature to -6°F (-21°C) for 24 hours.

previous setting.
■
Press MAX COOL to select this mode. Max Cool will stay on
for 24 hours or until it is manually turned off.
Holiday Mode
Holiday Mode is designed for the traveler who wishes to save
additional energy or for those whose religious observances
require turning off the lights and ice maker. In Holiday Mode, the
temperature set points remain unchanged, the ice maker and
dispenser levers are disabled, and the interior lights turn off.
■
Press HOLIDAY MODE to turn on the Holiday Mode feature.
This feature will remain on until the Holiday Mode key is
pressed again.
Convertible Drawer Temperature Control
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to prevent “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).
The convertible drawer temperature control is preset to the
PRODUCE setting.
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 PRODUCE to store vegetables at their optimal
storage temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less
cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.
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.
Door Air Control
The door air control is located on the left-hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.
■
Slide the door air control to the left to reduce the flow of cold
air to the bin or can rack and make it less cold.
■
Slide the door air control to the right to increase the flow of
cold air to the bin or can rack 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.
NOTES:
■
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 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water, or for
approximately 3 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 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 Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: 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.
