Chilled Door Bin (on some models) Cool air from the freezer is directed to the refrigerator door bin directly beneath the vents. NOTE: The dairy compartment and can rack are not associated with the Chilled Door Bin feature. Chilled Door Bin Control The chilled door bin control is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment. The Water Dispenser IMPORTANT: Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply. To Dispense Water: 1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever. 2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. The Ice Dispenser Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the ICE TYPE button. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected. A A. Chilled door bin control ■ Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of cold air to the bin and make it less cold. ■ Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow of cold air to the bin and make it colder. 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 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: ■ The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer 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. CRUSHED CUBED For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes. To Dispense Ice: 1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch between cubed and crushed, press ICE TYPE. WARNING Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts. 2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass. IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities. 3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing. 11
