Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables.
The air inside the pan is cooled to prevent "spot" freezing and can
be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board
recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C).
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.

Crisper Humidity Control

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 chill control is located on the left-hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.

to the door and make it less cold.

Water and Ice Dispensers
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.
NOTE:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the
base grille filter is properly installed.
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door
is open.
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.
Allow several 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.
