Water and Ice Dispensers

(on somemodels)

Depending on your model, your water and ice dispensers may have one or more of the following features: a rotating water dispenser faucet and pull-out tray, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.

NOTES:

■The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.

■After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, 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) for an additional 2 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system. 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 Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

To Dispense Water:

1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the WATER button.

NOTE: While dispensing water and for 5 seconds after dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how much water has been dispensed. The default unit is ounces. To switch to cups or liters, press the UNITS button before dispensing.

2.Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.

Rotating Faucet and Pull-out Tray (on some models)

Your dispenser may include a rotating water faucet and a small pull-out tray at the bottom of the dispenser.

B.Pull-out tray

■The faucet rotates up to 180° to allow for easy dispensing into large containers. Rotate it by pressing PUSH HERE, located on the right-hand side of the faucet as shown.

NOTE: When using the dispenser with the faucet rotated, do not use the water dispenser pad. Only use the WATER button to dispense. Dispensing by pressing the container against the water dispenser pad may result in unintentional spilling.

■The tray can be pulled out approximately 2" (5.08 cm) to better support large containers. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.

NOTE: The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned. Pull the tray out until it hits the stop, then gently lift up on the back of the tray and slide it out the rest of the way.

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 & Storage Bin.”

Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the CUBED or CRUSHED button. 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:

1.If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
