REFRIGERATOR USE Power Outage Indicator The power outage indicator lets you know if the power supply to the refrigerator has been cut off and the freezer temperature has risen to 18°F (-8°C) or higher. NOTE: 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 Ajar icon will still be displayed on the dispenser control panel. When power has been restored, "PO" repeatedly flashes on the control panel display. All other control and dispenser functions are disabled and "PO" will continue to blink until you acknowledge the power outage. ■ Press the MEASURED FILL button to confirm. The Power Outage icon will disappear and the control panel will return to the Normal screen. Door Ajar Alarm The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator door(s) or freezer drawer is open for 5 minutes and cooling is turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close all doors and drawer to turn it off. The feature then resets and will reactivate when either door is left open again for 5 minutes. Disabling Sounds ■ To turn off control and dispenser sounds, press and hold ICE MODE and MEASURED FILL at the same time for 3 seconds. All normal operating tones are disabled. Only alert tones will be audible. ■ To turn all sounds back on, press and hold ICE and MEASURED FILL at the same time for 3 seconds again. Showroom Mode This mode is used only when the refrigerator is on display in a retail store. If you unintentionally turn on Showroom mode, the words "Showroom Mode" will light up on the display. Exit Showroom mode by pressing and holding LIGHT and LOCK at the same time for 3 seconds. Water and Ice Dispensers IMPORTANT: ■ Allow 3 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 dispensing system will not operate when either the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is open. Flush the Water System Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the water dispensing system, forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser. 1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. 2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow. 3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. The Water Dispenser IMPORTANT: ■ Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply. ■ If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure. ■ With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup of water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement. ■ If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See "Water Supply Requirements" and "Troubleshooting" for suggestions. To Dispense Water - Standard: 1. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle. 2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing 21
