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
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
Auto Ice Storage Bin
Your ice storage bin has a lever which allows the storage bin to
slide out with the drawer when it is pulled open or to stay in place.
■
Move the lever to the right to attach the ice storage bin to the
freezer drawer.
■
Move the lever to the left to release the ice storage bin from
the freezer drawer.
Ice Production Rate
■
The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice
approximately every 3 hours.
■
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system. Press the dispenser paddle 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 paddle (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an
additional 2 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water
dispensing system. 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, press the dispenser paddle again.
■
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
Dispensing Water
1. Hold a container under the dispenser spout while pressing the
dispenser pad.
2. Release the dispenser pad to stop dispensing.
Water Filtration System
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Water Filter Status Lights
The water filter status lights will remind you when it is time to
order and replace your water filter. When the yellow (Order) light is
on, it is almost time to change the water filter. When the red
(Replace) light is on, a new water filter should be installed. The
disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months
OR earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably.
