Additional Features
Fast Ice
The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by
increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.
IMPORTANT: This feature only works if the ice maker is turned on. See
"Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
Press FAST ICE to turn on the Fast Ice feature. When
the feature is on, the Fast Ice icon will appear on the
dispenser display screen. The Fast Ice setting will
remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off.
To manually turn off the Fast Ice feature, press FAST
ICE again or adjust the freezer temperature set point. The Fast 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.

Temperature Management (on some models)
The 6th Sense
®
feature assists with regulating the temperature
inside the refrigerator. If a large quantity of warm food is placed
in the refrigerator or warm air enters the refrigerator while the
door is held open, the 6th Sense
restore the temperature to the set point.

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.
Dual Evaporator (on some models)
Some models come equipped with a dual sequential evaporation
system, which includes two separate evaporators for the refrigerator
and freezer compartments.
Dual evaporation results in higher humidity, which helps keep foods in
the refrigerator from spoiling as quickly and improves food quality and
freshness in the freezer due to decreased freezer burn. In addition, the
dual evaporation system helps keep food smells in the refrigerator from
transferring to ice in the freezer.
NOTE: The dual evaporation system is always activated when your
refrigerator is operating. You do not need to press any buttons to turn it
on.

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

(on some models)
The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The
air inside the pan is cooled to avoid "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).
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 VEG to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures.
NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the right (less cold),
toward the VEG setting. 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.
