Water and Ice Dispensers
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. 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)
until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush
air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare
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.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Before using
the ice, fill and discard three full containers of ice to prepare
the filter for use.
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door
is open.
The Water Dispenser
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against
the water dispenser pad.
NOTE:
While dispensing water
and for 3 seconds after
dispensing has stopped, the
digital display will show how
many ounces of water have
been dispensed.
To switch from ounces to cups, touch and hold ICE and
LOCK at the same time until the dispenser beeps after 3
seconds. To switch from cups to liters, touch and hold the
keys for another 3 seconds. To switch back to ounces,
repeat the process a third time.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the
dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser pad is pressed. The dispensing system will not
operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker,
see Ice Maker and Storage Bin on page 7.
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. The
display screen reads "CRUSHED" or "CUBED", indicating which
type is selected. To change the setting, touch the ICE key before
dispensing ice.
Refrigerator Operation
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This
may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise
from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.
When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
WARNING
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
1. Touch the ICE key to select
the desired type of ice.
2. Press a sturdy glass against
the ice dispenser pad.
Hold the glass close to the
dispenser opening so ice does
not fall outside of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need
to apply a lot of pressure to
the pad in order to activate the
ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense
faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds
after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
Dispenser Tray
The dispenser tray is designed to catch small spills and allow for
easy cleaning. The tray can be removed from the dispenser and
carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned.
NOTE: There is no drain in the tray. When the tray is full of water,
it needs to be emptied.
Dispenser Light
When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on.
If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either
ON or AUTO.
ON: Touch the LIGHT key to turn the dispenser light on.
AUTO: Touch LIGHT a second time to select AUTO mode. The
dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the
room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.
OFF: Touch LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure
that the light sensor is not blocked (in AUTO mode). See the
Troubleshooting section for more information.
