Additional Features
Fast Freezing
The Fast Freezing feature assists with temporary periods of heavy
ice use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.
IMPORTANT: This feature works only if the ice maker is turned
on. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
■
Press FAST FREEZING to turn on the Fast Freezing feature.
When the feature is on, the displayed freezer set point will
change to -24°C and the Fast Freezing icon will appear on the
dispenser display screen.
The Fast Freezing setting will remain on for 24 hours unless
manually turned off.
■
To manually turn off the Fast Freezing feature, press
FAST FREEZING again or press FREEZER TEMP. (A single
press of FREEZER TEMP will simply restore the previous
freezer set point; additional presses will adjust the setting.)
The Fast Freezing icon will disappear when the feature is off.
NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change
the freezer set point to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a
colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream,
harder.
6th Sense Temperature Management
The 6th Sense feature assists with regulating the temperature
inside the refrigerator. If a large quantity of warm food is placed in
the refrigerator or warm air enters the refrigerator while the door is
held open, the 6th Sense system activates to quickly restore the
temperature to the set point.
NOTE: The 6th Sense system is always on when your refrigerator
is operating. You do not need to press any buttons to activate it.
The 6th Sense icon on the dispenser display screen indicates that
the feature is functioning properly.
Door Ajar Alarm
The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when either the
refrigerator or freezer door is open for 2 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 2 minutes.
NOTE: To mute the audible alarm while keeping the doors open,
such as while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press RESET
ALARM on the control panel. The alarm sound will be turned off
for 2 minutes, but the red Alarm icon will still be displayed on the
control panel.
Power Outage Indicator
The power outage indicator lets you know if the power supply to
your refrigerator has been cut off. When power is restored, the red
Power Outage icon will appear on the display screen.
When the indicator is on, the freezer temperature display will flash,
showing the actual temperature inside the freezer compartment.
■
To turn off the indicator, press RESET ALARM on the control
panel. The Power Outage icon will disappear, and the freezer
temperature display will return to showing the set point.
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
(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.
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 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 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. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt
out of the dispenser.
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.
■
The display screen on the control panel will automatically dim
and enter “sleep” mode when both doors have been closed
and the control buttons and dispenser pad 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. After reactivation,
changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are
made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.
