Depending on the model, some of the following functions may not be available.
FILTERED WATER AND ICE DISPENSER
The water dispenser dispenses fresh, chilled water.
The ice dispenser dispenses cubed and crushed ice.
DOOR ALARM
The Door Alarm function is designed to prevent refrigerator malfunctioning that could occur if a refrigerator door

warning alarm sounds at 30-second intervals.

The Glide‘N’Serve provides storage space with a variable temperature control that keeps the compartment
colder than the refrigerator. It is a convenient place to store sandwiches or meat to be cooked.
AUTO-CLOSING HINGE
The refrigerator doors and freezer drawers close automatically with a slight push. (The door only closes
automatically when it is open at an angle less than 30°.)
