Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.

The air inside the pan is cooled to prevent "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).

The convertible vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at

the lowest meat setting.

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 left (less

cold). 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.

A. Chilled door bin control

Turn the control clockwise (right) to reduce the flow of cold air

to the bin and make it less cold.

Turn the control counterclockwise (left) to increase the flow of

cold air to the bin and make it colder.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

Depending on your model, your water and ice dispensers may

have one or more of the following features: a rotating water

dispenser faucet and pull-out tray, a special light that turns on

when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid

unintentional dispensing.

NOTES:

The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door

is open.

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the

water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until

you draw and discard 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water, or for

approximately 3 minutes after the water begins dispensing.

The flushing process cleans the water system and clears air

from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, 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 Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a

fresh supply.

To Dispense Water (Standard):

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR

place the glass below the water dispenser and press the

WATER button.

NOTE: While dispensing water and for 5 seconds after

dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how

much water has been dispensed. The default unit is ounces.

To switch to cups or liters, press the UNITS button before

dispensing.

2. Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.

To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water

with the touch of a few buttons. In Custom mode, you can

dispense any amount within a specified range. In Water Bottle

mode, you can dispense pre-set amounts according to the size of

the container.

NOTE: The exact amount of water you select will be dispensed.

Be sure that the container is empty and can hold the entire

volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your

selection.

1. Press MEASURED FILL until the light turns on. Press

MEASURED FILL again to turn the feature off.

NOTE: The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill

after one minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned off,

any changes you have made will be lost and all defaults will be

restored.

2. Press CONTAINER to change from Custom mode to

Water Bottle mode.
