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."
To turn on the feature, press OPTIONS then TEMP. 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 feature, press OPTIONS then TEMP
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 (on some models)
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
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.
Disabling Sounds
To turn off all control and dispenser sounds, press the
OPTIONS button to enter Options mode, then press
OPTIONS again.
To turn all sounds back on, press the OPTIONS button to
enter Options mode (unless you are already in Options
mode), then press OPTIONS again.
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.
Water and Ice Dispensers
NOTES:
The dispensing system will not operate when either door
(refrigerator or freezer) 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. Wait 72 hours for full ice
production.
Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser
to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or
replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the
water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter,
and prepares the water filter for use.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water
dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.
2. Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow.
3. 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.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
Calibrate Measured Fill
Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the
Measured Fill feature. For optimum performance of your water
dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill.
IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating Measured
Fill.
1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the
dispenser tray, centered in front of the water dispenser pad.
NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be
provided.
