Install Air Filter
(on some models)
The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models, the air filter is already installed at the factory.
Installing the Air Filter
Install the air filter behind the vented door, located along the rear interior wall of the refrigerator compartment.
- Remove the air filter from its packaging.
NOTE: An air filter status indicator is included with the air filter. The indicator is not needed for models that display the air filter status on the control panel. - Lift open the vented door.
- Snap the filter into place.
Air Filter Status Indicator
The control panel displays the Air Filter status.
- GOOD - The air filter icon on the control lights up in BLUE.
- ORDER a replacement - The air filter icon on the control lights up in YELLOW.
- REPLACE air filter - The air filter icon on the control lights up in RED and “Replace Filter” will appear.
- EXPIRED - The air filter icon lights up in RED and “Replace Filter” flashes on the control display.
After replacing the air filter, press and hold the AIR FILTER button for 3 seconds. The filter icons will turn off. See “Using the Control(s).” When the system is reset, the air filter icon will return to its BLUE color and the words “Replace Filter” will disappear from the display.
NOTE: At any filter status, pressing and holding the AIR FILTER button for 3 seconds will reset the air filter status to Good and the air filter icon will turn off.
Replacing the Air Filter
The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months, or when the status indicator air filter icon turns on and starts flashing when the refrigerator door is opened.
To order a replacement air filter, contact us. See “Accessories.”
- Remove the used air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.
- Install the new air filter and reset the status indicator using the instructions in the previous section.
Install Produce Preserver
(on some models)
The accessory packet includes two produce preserver pouches, which should be installed in a crisper drawer prior to use.
NOTE: For best performance, always use two pouches.
The produce preserver absorbs ethylene, to slow the ripening process of many produce items. As a result, certain produce items will stay fresh longer.
Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on the type of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce moderate to high amounts of ethylene.
Installing the Produce Preserver
CAUTION: IRRITANT
MAY IRRITATE EYES AND SKIN. DANGEROUS FUMES FORM WHEN MIXED WITH OTHER PRODUCTS.
Do not mix with cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acids. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Do not breathe dust. Keep out of reach of children.
FIRST AID TREATMENT: Contains potassium permanganate. If swallowed, call a Poison Control Center or doctor immediately. Do not induce vomiting. If in eyes, rinse with water for 15 minutes. If on skin, rinse with water.
The produce preserver pouches should be installed in the housing, located on the wall of one of the crisper drawers.
- Remove the FreshFlow™ Produce Preserver pouches from the packaging.
- Lift up on the housing to remove it from the mounting tab.
- Open the housing by pulling up and out on the back of the top of the housing.
- Place both pouches inside the housing, then snap the housing back together.
- Place the housing back on the mounting tab.
Installing the Status Indicator
The produce preserver comes with a status indicator, which should be activated and installed at the same time the pouches are installed.
- Place the indicator face-down on a firm, flat surface.
- Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator until the bubble pops, to activate the indicator.
- Slide open the cap on the top of the produce preserver housing.
- Place the indicator in the top of the housing, facing outward.
- Slide the cap closed, and check that the indicator is visible through the rectangular hole in the cap.
NOTE: The cap will not easily close if the indicator’s bubble has not been popped.
Replacing the Produce Preserver
The disposable pouches should be replaced every 6 months, when the status indicator has completely changed from white to red.
To order replacements, contact us. See “Accessories” for information on ordering.
- Remove the used pouches from the produce preserver housing.

REFRIGERATOR USE
Opening and Closing Doors
There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together.
There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.
- When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.
- When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically forms a seal between the two doors.
Using the Controls
IMPORTANT:
- Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
- The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
- 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.
Control Panel
Depending on your model, your refrigerator has either an internal control panel, located at the top of the refrigerator compartment, or an external control panel, located above the external water dispenser. Follow the instructions specific to your model.
Internal Control Panel
External Control Panel
IMPORTANT (External Control only): The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser levers 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. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.
- Touch any control button on the dispenser panel to activate the display screen.
Temperature Control
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the control is still set to the recommended setting as shown.
Internal Control - Recommended Setting “3 Boxes”
External Control - Recommended Setting “3 Snowflakes”
Adjusting the Controls
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the following chart as a guide.
- Press the TEMP button to display the desired number of snowflakes or boxes from (1 snowflake/box [least cold] to all 5 snowflakes/boxes [coldest]).
NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
CONDITION/REASON: | External Control Panel
Additional FeaturesDoor Open Alarm
NOTES:
SpeedCool The SpeedCool feature assists during times of high refrigerator use, full grocery loads or temporarily warm room temperatures.
NOTES:
Moisture Control The moisture control feature turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or when you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more energy when Moisture Control is on. NOTE: The moisture control icon will light up to indicate the feature is on. To turn on/off the moisture control feature:
Water Filter Status Light and Reset The filter reset control allows you to restart the water filter status tracking feature each time you replace the water filter. See “Water Filtration System.”
Air Filter Status Light and Reset The filter reset control allows you to restart the air filter status tracking feature each time you replace the air filter. See “Install Air Filter.”
Water Dispenser(on some models) IMPORTANT:
Flush the Water System Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the water dispensing system, forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
Dispense Water IMPORTANT:
To dispense water:
Dispenser Light When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may turn on the light. The light icon will illuminate when the light is on. ON: Press LIGHT quickly to turn on the dispenser light. OFF: Press LIGHT quickly to turn off the dispenser light. NOTES:
Dispenser Lock The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets. NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the controls and dispenser levers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker.”
The lock icon will illuminate when the dispenser is locked. Ice Maker(on some models) IMPORTANT: For models with a water filter, after connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard three full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use. Turning the Ice Maker On/Off To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down. Ice Storage Bin
NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. You may notice the ice has an “off-taste.” If so, discard the first three batches of ice produced. After that the “off-taste” should be gone. Ice Production Rate
