Additional Features
Door Ajar Alarm
The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator
door(s) or freezer drawer is open for 5 minutes and cooling is
turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close all doors
and drawer to turn it off. The feature then is reset 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 the Door Ajar icon will still be
displayed on the dispenser control panel.
Disabling Sounds
■ To turn off control and dispenser sounds, press and hold ICE/
WATER and MEASURED FILL at the same time for 3 seconds.
All normal operating tones are disabled. Only alert tones will
be audible.
■ To turn all sounds back on, press and hold ICE/WATER and
MEASURED FILL at the same time for 3 seconds again.
Showroom Mode
This mode is used only when the refrigerator is on display in a
retail store. If you unintentionally turn on Showroom mode, the
word “Showroom” will light up on the display. Exit Showroom
mode by pressing and holding LIGHT and LOCK at the same time
for 3 seconds.
Water and Ice Dispensers
IMPORTANT:
■ Allow 3 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 dispensing system will not operate when either the
refrigerator door or freezer drawer is open.
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.
1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water
dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1
and 2 until water begins to flow.
3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing
the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of
3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.
Calibrate Measured Fill
Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the
Measured Fill feature. So, for optimum performance of your water
dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill.
IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating Measured
Fill.
1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the
dispenser tray centered in front of the ice/water dispenser
paddle.
NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be
provided.
2. Press and hold the OPTIONS and LOCK buttons at the same
time for 3 seconds. The words “Back” and “1 Cup” will appear
on the display screen. Also, the Calibrate Measured Fill icon
will illuminate and remain lit while the Measured Fill feature is
being calibrated.
