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.
Water Filter Status Light and Filter Reset
The filter reset control allows you to restart the water filter status
tracking feature each time you replace the water filter. See "Water
Filtration System."
Press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds or until the
■
"Replace Filter" light turns off.

Crisper Humidity Control

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Depending on your model, adjust the control to any
setting between FRUIT and VEGETABLES or LOW and HIGH.
FRUIT/LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with
skins.
VEGETABLES/HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy
vegetables.

Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin

IMPORTANT:
Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See
■

"Water and Ice Dispensers."

The ice maker and storage bin are located in the upper left-
■
hand side of the refrigerator compartment.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The ice maker has an automatic shutoff. When the ice maker
is ON, sensors will automatically stop ice production when the
storage bin is full. The ice maker will remain set to ON, and ice
production will resume when the bin is no longer full.
To manually turn off the ice maker, press TEMP and FAST COOL
at the same time and hold for 3 seconds until the "Ice Maker
Off" icon lights up. When the ice maker is set to OFF, it will stop
producing ice.
Pressing and holding TEMP and FAST COOL again for 3 seconds
turns on the ice maker and the "Ice Maker Off" icon disappears.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
To Remove the Ice Storage Bin:
1. Hold the base of the storage bin and press the release button.
2. Pull out the storage bin.
To Replace the Ice Storage Bin:
IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to turn the auger driver, behind
the ice bin, counterclockwise to properly align the ice bin with
the auger driver. The ice storage bin must be locked in place for
proper ice dispensing.
1. Slide the ice bin into the guide rails located on either side of
the enclosure.
2. Push the ice bin in until resistance is felt. Raise the front
slightly and push the ice bin in until an audible "click" is heard.

Ice Production Rate
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
■
first three batches of ice produced.
The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
■
of ice in a 24-hour period.
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
■
temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
NOTE: Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make
some foods, such as ice cream, harder.
Remember
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
■
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals
(such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead
to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be
avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly
and is well maintained.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This
■
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.

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 4 gal. (15 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 refrigerator
■
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 dispenser control panel will turn
■
off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the control
buttons and dispenser levers 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.
