PRODUCE setting.

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed

listed below, some functions you wish to disable will remain
active.

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 water level indicator
in the dispenser 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. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the
water dispenser lever 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 lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional
2 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water
dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in
some households. As air is cleared from the system, 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.
