Additional Features
Fast Ice and SpeedCool
The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice
use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.
The SpeedCool feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage,
full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.
■
To turn on the Fast Ice feature, press OPTIONS. “Fast Ice”
will appear on the display screen.
The Fast Ice feature will remain on for 24 hours unless
manually turned off.
■
To turn on the SpeedCool feature, press OPTIONS a second
time. The Fast Ice feature will turn off, and the SpeedCool
feature will turn on. “SpeedCool” will appear on the display
screen.
The SpeedCool feature will remain on for 24 hours unless
manually turned off.
■
To turn on both the Fast Ice and SpeedCool features at the
same time, press OPTIONS a third time. Both “Fast Ice” and
“SpeedCool” will appear on the display screen.
Both features will remain on for 24 hours unless manually
turned off.
■
To turn both features off, press OPTIONS a fourth time. Both
“Fast Ice” and “SpeedCool” will disappear from the display
screen.
When Fast Ice and/or SpeedCool are active, the temperature
displays will not change. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to
the previous temperature set points.
NOTE:
If increased ice production is desired at all times, change
the freezer control 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 “Door Ajar” will still be displayed on the dispenser
control panel.
Disabling Sounds
■
To turn off all control and dispenser sounds, press and hold
LIGHT and FILTER at the same time for 3 seconds.
■
To turn all sounds back on, press and hold LIGHT and FILTER
at the same time for 3 seconds again.
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
(on some models)
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.
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.
