Additional Features
Door Open Alarm
The Door Open icon lights up whenever either door is opened.
When either door is open for 5 minutes and cooling is on, an
alert tone will sound three times, and the Door Open icon will
flash seven times. This pattern will repeat every 2 minutes until
all the doors are closed properly. The feature then resets and
will reactivate when either door is left open again for
5minutes.
NOTES:
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 Open icon will still be
displayed on the dispenser control panel.
Both doors must be fully closed to turn off the Door Open
icon.
Fast Cool
The fast cool feature assists during times of high refrigerator use,
full grocery loads or temporarily warm room temperatures.
Press FAST COOL to set the freezer and refrigerator to the
coldest temperature settings. Press FAST COOL again to
return to the selected temperature set point.
NOTES:
The Fast Cool icon will be illuminated while the refrigerator
is in Fast Cool mode.
The Fast Cool feature will turn off automatically after
24 hours.

tracking feature each time you replace the water filter. See “Water
Filtration System.”
Press and hold WATER FILTER for 3 seconds, to reset the

Air Filter Status Light and Reset
The filter reset control allows you to restart the air filter status
tracking feature each time you replace the air filter. See “Install Air
Filter.”
Press and hold AIR FILTER for 3 seconds, to reset the air filter

Water Dispenser
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 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)
until a total of 3 gal. (12 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:
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.
Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
Style 1 - Interior Dispenser Models
IMPORTANT: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, press the dispenser paddle again.
To dispense water:
1. Hold a container under the dispenser spout while pressing the
dispenser pad.
2. Release the dispenser pad to stop dispensing.
Style 2 - Exterior Dispenser Models
IMPORTANT:
The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator
door is open.
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.
