Crisper Humidity Control
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Depending on your model, adjust the control to any
setting between FRUIT and VEGETABLES or LOW and HIGH.
FRUIT/LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with
skins.
VEGETABLES/HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy
vegetables.
Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin
IMPORTANT:
■
Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See
“Water and Ice Dispenser.”
■
The ice maker and storage bin are located in the upper left-
hand side of the refrigerator compartment.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The On/Off switch is located on the ice maker.
To turn on the ice maker, press the switch to the ON position.
To manually turn off the ice maker, press the switch to the OFF
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 position.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
To Remove the Ice Storage Bin:
1. Hold the base of the storage bin and press the release button
on the lower right.
2. Pull the storage bin out until resistance is felt. Lift up the front
of the ice bin and remove.
3. Press the switch to the OFF position
To Replace the Ice Storage Bin:
IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to turn the auger driver, behind
the ice bin, counterclockwise to properly align the ice bin with the
auger driver. The ice storage bin must be locked in place for
proper ice dispensing.
1. Press the switch to the ON position
2. Slide the ice bin into the guide rails located on either side of
the enclosure.
3. Push the ice bin in until resistance is felt. Raise the front
slightly and push the ice bin in until an audible “click” is heard.
Ice Production Rate
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to completely
fill the ice storage bin.
■
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.
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 bin and dispenser mechanism.
■
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Water and Ice 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 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
4 gal. (15 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.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the
dispensing lever again.
■
The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice.
■
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
Dispense Ice and Water
1. Select water or cubed ice by pressing the corresponding
button on the dispenser control panel. A light above the
button indicates your selection.
2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.
