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 4 gal. (15 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. 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. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
■The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator door is open and/or when a USB device is placed into the USB port.
Options
To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):
Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water with the touch of a few buttons.
NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be sure that the container is empty and can hold the entire volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.
1.Press WATER on the display screen to turn the feature on.
NOTE: The dispenser will automatically exit the Measured Fill screen after 15 seconds of inactivity.
2.You can dispense water by the ounce, cup, or liter. Press UNITS to select your desired setting. Minimum and maximum volumes are listed below.
Units | Minimum | Maximum |
|

Ounces | 1 | 128 |

3.Press the up and down arrows to adjust the volume as desired.
NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL] per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz [237 mL]). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid unintentionally overfilling coffee cups. The Measured Fill feature is based on standard household water pressure of
60 psi. Users with low water pressure may need to adjust the volume selection accordingly.
4.To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the water dispenser button.
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select crushed or cubed ice, a pull- out tray, a light that turns on when you use the dispenser, a lock to avoid unintentional dispensing or an indicator that tells you when there has been a power outage.
NOTES:
■The language of the text on the display screen can be set to English, Spanish or French. For information about changing the language, see “Using the Controls.”
■The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls have not been used for 2 minutes or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button or the display screen will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 2 minutes after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or the display screen will change the applicable settings.
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
The default display unit for water dispensing is ounces. The units can be changed to cups or liters.
To Dispense Water (Standard):
1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the water dispenser button.
2.Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.
NOTE: While dispensing water, the digital display will count down how much water remains to be dispensed, according to the volume you selected. The flow of water will automatically stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.
5.To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser pad OR press the water dispenser button a second time.
NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has been dispensed, the digital display will continue to show how much water remains to be dispensed. The display will exit the Measured Fill screen after 15 seconds of inactivity.
To select a new volume or select the same volume again, you must first finish dispensing the selected volume, or turn off the Measured Fill feature and then turn it back on.
