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.
Ice Maker
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
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.
■ For maximum ice production (on some models), push the
switch to ICE PLUS. The ice maker should produce 16 to
20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period in the Ice Plus mode.
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 container and the dispenser
mechanism.
■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice bin.
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■ 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.
NOTE: After 4 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing to avoid flooding. To continue
dispensing, remove the glass and press the dispensing
paddle again.
■ When the refrigerator compartment door is open, the
dispenser will not dispense water and the dispenser control
panel will not display or receive input. The previous settings
will be retained.
Dispense Water
1. Press a sturdy glass against the paddle to start dispensing.
2. Release pressure on the paddle and be sure the water has
stopped dispensing before removing the glass.
NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the
dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
Remove and Replace Dispenser Paddle
The removable paddle is designed to catch small spills and allow
for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the paddle. The paddle can
be removed from the dispenser to be emptied or cleaned.
IMPORTANT: Press and hold LOCK OUT for 2 seconds to
activate the dispenser lock feature before removing the dispenser
paddle. See “The Dispenser Lock.”
1. Press up on the dispenser paddle, as shown, to release.
