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 IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See "Water Dispenser." 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. Remember ■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. ■ 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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin. 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 paddle (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. NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, press the dispenser paddle again. ■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply. Dispensing Water 1. Hold a container under the dispenser spout while pressing the dispenser pad. 2. Release the dispenser pad to stop dispensing. Auto Ice Storage Bin Your ice storage bin has a lever which allows the storage bin to slide out with the drawer when it is pulled open or to stay in place. ■ Move the lever to the right to attach the ice storage bin to the freezer drawer. ■ Move the lever to the left to release the ice storage bin from the freezer drawer. A A Water Filtration System The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts. A. Ice storage bin lever Ice Production Rate ■ The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice approximately every 3 hours. ■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature. See "Using the Controls." Wait 24 hours between adjustments. Water Filter Status Lights The water filter status lights will help you know when to change the water filter. When the Order light is on, it is almost time to change the water filter. When the Replace light is on, a new water filter should be installed. After replacing the water filter, press and hold Filter Reset for 3 seconds until the Order or Replace light turns off. See "Using the Controls." 9
