Ingredient Care Center
The control for the Ingredient Care Center adjusts the temperature
of the storage drawer. Cold air flows into the drawer through the
air duct between the freezer and the refrigerator. Adjusting the
control allows more or less cold air through the air duct.
Adjust the Temperature
1. Choose a setting based on the item to be stored in the drawer.
2. Push the button that corresponds to that setting.
3. The indicator light for that setting will illuminate to verify that
the drawer is ready to be loaded.

Chicken, ground beef, variety meat (liver, etc.) ................ 1-2 days

plastic containers with tight lids.
Water and Ice Dispensers
(on some models)
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.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, 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 dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door
is open.
■
Depending on your model, your water and ice dispensers may
have one or more of the following features: a water level
indicator in the dispenser tray, a special light that turns on
when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid
unintentional dispensing.
Water Dispenser
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad.
NOTES:
■
While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after dispensing
has stopped, the digital display will show how many
ounces of water have been dispensed.
■
To switch from ounces to cups, press and hold ICE and
LOCK at the same time until the dispenser beeps after
3 seconds. To switch from cups to liters, press and hold
the buttons for another 3 seconds. To switch back to
ounces, repeat the process a third time.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the
dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
