The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
• The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door
is open.
• After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system by dispensing water into a sturdy container
until you draw and discard 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water, or for
approximately 3 minutes after the water begins dispensing.
The flushing process cleans the water system and clears air
from the lines. As the air is cleared from the lines, water may
spurt out of the dispenser.
• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.
• Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is
open. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer
when the dispenser lever is pressed.
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed
ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a
lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice.
Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer.
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 crush to cube, a few ounces of crushed ice
will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply much pressure to the
lever 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.
The Dispenser Light
Style 1: The dispenser light can be turned on by pressing the ON
button.
Style 2: When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically
turn the light on. Ifyou want the light to be on continuously, you
may choose either ON or AUTO.
ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn the dispenser light on.
AUTO: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select AUTO.
The dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter
as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.
OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn the dispenser
light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be
changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working,
check to be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in AUTO
mode). See "Troubleshooting" for more information.
The Dispenser Lock (on some models)
The dispenser can be locked for easy cleaning or to prevent
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates
the dispenser levers. The ice and water dispensers will not work.
• Press and hold the LOCK button until the red indicator
appears below LOCKED.
• Press and hold the LOCK button a second time to unlock the
dispenser.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the
freezer compartment.
Toturn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) position.
To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF
(right) position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will
remain in the ON (left) position.
REMEMBER:
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
• The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the
ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating
properly and is well maintained.
• Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
• Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage
bin.
