Looking Inside - Special Storage Areas CRISPERS (SOME MODELS) MEAT KEEPER (SOME MODELS) The crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clear water and remove excess water before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing. Some models are equipped with a Meat Keeper.
Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model. Some models have an Extra Ice feature that increases ice production for special occasions such as parties. To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice.
Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser ICE DISPENSER TIPS • • • Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal arm is in its “down” or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice. Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated. Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position until the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.
Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser PureSource TM Ice and Water Filter (some models) NOTE: If you purchased a refrigerator with a PureSource TM Ice and Water filter, please read the following use and care information. This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is located in the upper right back corner of the fresh food compartment. System Startup: Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter.
Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser PureSource2TM Ice and Water Front Filter (some models) NOTE: If you purchased a refrigerator with a PureSource2TM Ice and Water front filter, please read the following use and care information. This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is located in the upper right front corner of the fresh food compartment.
Food Storage & Energy Saving Ideas FOOD STORAGE IDEAS Fresh Food Storage • The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F. • Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling. Fruits and Vegetables • Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.
