Depending on your specific model, the water storage capacity will range from approximately 20 to 30 oz.
If the dispenser has not been used for several hours, the first glass dispensed may be warm. Discard the first 10 oz.

_WARNING: Connecting the refrigerator to a hot water line may damage the icemaker.
A water filter may need to be installed to eliminate taste and odor problems.
It is recommended that you replace the water filter:
•Approximately every 6 months.
•When the water filter indicator turns on.
•When the water dispenser output decreases.
•When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
Dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminates from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
Empty the ice bin. If your icemaker is equipped with an ice shutoff arm, make sure that the arm moves freely. If your icemaker is equipped with the electronic ice shutoff sensor, make sure that there is a clear path between the two sensors. Reinstall the ice bin and wait 24 hours to confirm proper operation.
