2. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water

dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.
Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow,
continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever
(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes.
This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.

of the dispenser.

Using the Controls

Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have Style 1 or
Style 2 controls. Follow the instructions specific to your model.

IMPORTANT:

■

Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put
food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a
lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.

■

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting the controls.

■

After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio
alarm and indicator light may activate every 1

¹⁄₂

hours until

the refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C)
and 15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off.
To turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master
Alarm Reset.

Turning Refrigerator On/Off and Viewing Set Points

the temperatures before other adjustments are made.

■

Press the SET TO RECOMMENDED touch pad to reset the
set points to the factory recommended temperatures.

for the freezer and 37°F (2°C) for the refrigerator.

The actual temperature may differ from the display when a
door is open for an extended period of time.
