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 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. 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. IMPORTANT: Water Dispenser (on some models) ■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system. Press the button on the dispenser 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 button (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 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, press the dispenser button again. ■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply. 13
