Press and hold LOCK and RESET FILTER for 3 seconds again
to turn cooling back on.
Additional Features
Accelerated Ice Production
The Accelerated Ice feature assists with temporary periods of
heavy ice usage by increasing ice production.
IMPORTANT: This feature only works if the ice maker is turned
on. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
To turn on the feature, press ACCELER­ICE. When the
feature is on, the Accelerated Ice icon will appear on the
dispenser display screen.
The Accelerated Ice setting will remain on for a minimum of
90 minutes unless manually turned off.
To manually turn off the feature, press ACCELER­ICE again,
or adjust the freezer temperature set point. The Accelerated
Ice icon will disappear when the feature is off.
NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change
the freezer set point to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a
colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream,
harder.
Door Ajar Alarm
The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the
refrigerator or freezer door is open for 5 minutes and the
product cooling is turned on. The alarm will repeat every
2 minutes. Close both doors to turn it off. The feature then resets
and will reactivate when either door is left open again for
5 minutes.
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.
Disabling Sounds
To turn off all dispenser and control sounds, press and hold
WATER/ICE and RESET FILTER at the same time for
3 seconds.
IMPORTANT: To avoid unintentionally changing other
settings, be sure to press both buttons at exactly the same
time.
To turn all sounds back on, press and hold WATER/ICE and
RESET FILTER at the same time for 3 seconds again.

Water and Ice Dispensers

NOTES:
The dispensing system will not operate when either door
(refrigerator or freezer) is open.
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. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production.
The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn
off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the control
buttons and dispenser pad have not been used for 2 minutes
or more. While in "sleep" mode, the first press of a control
button will only reactivate the display screen, without
changing any settings.
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.
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 pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.
2. Repeat Step 1 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 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
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 (237 mL)
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"
or "Problem Solver" for suggestions.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press the WATER/ICE button until "Water" is selected.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser pad. Hold the
glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the
water dispenses into the glass.
