SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage. IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents. Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer: • Takeoff the doors. • Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

The convertible drawer temperature control is preset to the PRODUCE setting. To store meat: Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its optimal storage temperature. To store vegetables: Set the control to PRODUCE 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. 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. The door air control is located on the left-hand side of the refrigerator compartment. A-- A. Door air control Slide the door air control to the left to reduce the flow of cold air to the bin or can rack and make it less cold. Slide the door air control to the right to increase the flow of cold air to the bin or can rack and make it colder. Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing. NOTES: • The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. • After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, 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) 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. 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 has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings. 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 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. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. 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 button. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected. 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 select the desired type of ice. 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 up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing. The Dispenser Light (on some models) When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM. The display screen indicates which mode is selected. ON DIM OFF ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on. DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. The dispenser light will remain on, but at a lower intensity. OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off. The dispenser lights are LEDs that can not be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see "Troubleshooting" for more information. The Dispenser Lock (on some models) The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets. NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser controls and levers. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." • Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser. • Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser. The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked. LOCKED UNLOCKED Turning the Ice Maker On/Off The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the freezer compartment. To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) position. To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF (right) position. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) position. 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 use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism. • Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin. Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin 1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press the release button to lift the storage bin up and out. NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The sensor cover ("flipper door") on the left wall of the freezer stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed. 2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make sure it is securely in place.
