Accelerated Ice Production (on some models)
This feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by
increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.
• Press OPTIMICE ®feature touch pad to turn on the Optimlce °
feature. The Optimlce ®setting will remain on for 24 hours
unless manually turned off.
• If increased ice production is desired at all times, set the
Freezer Control to a colder number. Setting the freezer to a
colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream,
harder.
Temperature System
The Temperature System feature lets you know the compressor or
evaporator fan is running. It is normal for this indicator light to be
on.

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 vegetable/meat drawer control comes preset at
the lowest meat 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 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.
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.
NIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
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.
• Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of cold
air to the bin and make it less cold.
• Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow of
cold air to the bin 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, a special
AUTO mode, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
NOTES:
• 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.
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. The
dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.
To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker & Storage Bin."
Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are 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.
