In Holiday Mode, the dispenser levers are disabled and the dispenser lights turn off.

To turn on Holiday Mode, press and hold ICE, LIGHT and LOCKOUT at the same time for 3 seconds. When the feature turns on, the indicator light around the LOCKOUT button will blink and “HOL” will appear on the dispenser display.

To turn Holiday Mode off, press and hold ICE, LIGHT and LOCKOUT at the same time for 3 seconds again.

The refrigerator will then return to the previous temperature set points chosen prior to the selection of the Max Cool feature, but the lights and ice maker will remain off until the Holiday Mode is pressed again.

Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

Depending on your model, your water and ice dispensers may have one or more of the following features: a water level indicator in the dispenser 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: Depending on your model, the small removable tray at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned.

To Dispense Water:

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

NOTES:

While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how many ounces of water have been dispensed.

To switch from ounces to cups, press and hold ICE and LOCK at the same time until the dispenser beeps after

3 seconds. To switch from cups to liters, press and hold the buttons for another 3 seconds. To switch back to ounces, repeat the process a third time.

2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

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.”

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. The display screen reads “CRUSHED” or “CUBED”, indicating which type is selected. To change the setting, press the ICE button before dispensing ice.

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.
