Additional Features
Door Ajar Alarm
The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator or
freezer door is open for 5 minutes and the product cooling is turned on.
The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close both doors to turn it off.
The feature then resets and will reactivate when either door is left open
again for 5 minutes.
NOTE: To mute the audible alarm while keeping the doors open, such
as while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press any button on the
control panel. The alarm sound will be temporarily turned off, but the
Door Ajar icon will still be displayed on the dispenser control panel.
Convertible Drawer Temperature Control
(on some models)
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The
air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “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).
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 VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less cold),
toward the VEG setting. Remember to wait 24 hours between
adjustments.
Crisper Humidity Control
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.
Water and Ice Dispensers
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. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
■
The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off
automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and
dispenser lever have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in
“sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate
the display screen, without changing any settings.
Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to
drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the
water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the water dispensing
system forces air from the water line and filter, and prepares the water
filter for use.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser
lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.
2. Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow.
3. 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.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■
Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
■
If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be
caused by low water pressure.
■
With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of
water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the
water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum
requirement.
■
If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water,
the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than
recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” (in the User
Instructions or the Installation Instructions and Owner’s
Manual) or “Problem Solver” for suggestions.
