Additional Features
Fast Ice
The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice
use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.
IMPORTANT: This feature only works if the ice maker is turned
on. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
■
Press FAST ICE to turn on the Fast Ice feature. When the
feature is on, the Fast Ice icon will appear on the dispenser
display screen. The Fast Ice setting will remain on for 24 hours
unless manually turned off.
■
To manually turn off the Fast Ice feature, press FAST ICE again
or adjust the freezer temperature set point. The Fast Ice 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 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.
Dual Evaporator (on some models)
Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation
system, which includes two separate evaporators for the
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep
foods in the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves
food quality and freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer
burn. In addition, the dual evaporation system helps keep food
smells in the refrigerator from transferring to ice in the freezer.
NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when
your refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any
buttons to turn it on.
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.
Chilled Door Bin
(on some models)
Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin
directly beneath the vents.
NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not associated
with the Chilled Door Bin feature.
Chilled Door Bin Control
The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.
■
Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of cold
air to the bin and make it less cold.
■
Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow of
cold air to the bin and make it colder.
Water and Ice Dispensers
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.
