To store vegetables: Set the control to VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures. NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments. Crisper Humidity Control (on some models) You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH. LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins. HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables. 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. s After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container until you draw and discard 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water, or for approximately 3 minutes after the water begins dispensing. The flushing process cleans the water system and clears air from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, water may spurt out of the dispenser. s Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. s Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. The Water Dispenser IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply. To Dispense Water: 1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the WATER button. NOTE: While dispensing water and for 5 seconds after dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how much water has been dispensed. The default unit is ounces. To switch to cups or liters, press the UNITS button before dispensing. A A. Chilled door bin control s Turn the control clockwise (right) to reduce the flow of cold air to the bin and make it less cold. s Turn the control counterclockwise (left) to increase the flow of cold air to the bin and make it colder. Water and Ice Dispensers (on some models) Depending on your model, your water and ice dispensers may have one or more of the following features: a rotating water dispenser faucet and pull-out tray, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing. NOTES: s Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. s If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the base grille filter is properly installed. s The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. 2. Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing. Rotating Faucet and Pull-out Tray (on some models) Your dispenser may include a rotating water faucet and a small pull-out tray at the bottom of the dispenser. A B A. Faucet rotated 180° B. Pull-out tray s The faucet rotates up to 180° to allow for easy dispensing into large containers. Rotate it by pressing PUSH HERE, located on the right-hand side of the faucet as shown. NOTE: When using the dispenser with the faucet rotated, do not use the water dispenser pad. Only use the WATER button to dispense. Dispensing by pressing the container against the water dispenser pad may result in unintentional spilling. s The tray can be pulled out approximately 2" (5.08 cm) to better support large containers. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. NOTE: The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned. Pull the tray out until it hits the stop, then gently lift up on the back of the tray and slide it out the rest of the way. 6
