USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

The water dispenser

Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat drawer. It holds approximately 11⁄2 quarts (1.5 L).

When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the water dispenser bar with a glass or jar until you draw and discard 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). The water you draw and discard rinses the tank and pipes.

Allow several hours to cool a new tankful.

NOTE: The small tray beneath the dispenser is de- signed to evaporate small spills. There is no drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.

To dispense water:

1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser bar.

2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

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