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 and 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.
To Dispense Ice:
1.Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2.Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser pad. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.
Dispenser Light (on some models)
When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or AUTO.
ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.
AUTO: Press LIGHT a second time to select AUTO mode. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in AUTO mode). See “Troubleshooting” for more information.
Dispenser Lock (on some models)
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the ice and water dispensers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
■Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser. While the dispenser is locking, “LOCKING” will appear on the display screen and the blue indicator light around the LOCK button will flash. When the dispenser is locked, the indicator light will change to red for a few seconds, then turn off.
■Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser. While the dispenser is unlocking, “UNLOCKING” will appear on the display screen and the red indicator light around the LOCK button will flash. When the dispenser is unlocked, the indicator light will change to blue for a few seconds, then turn off.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the pad in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
Dispenser Tray with Water Level Indicator (on some models)
Your dispenser may include a small tray at the bottom of the dispenser. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned.
NOTE: There is no drain in the tray. When the tray is full of water and needs to be emptied, a small red indicator pops up at the back of the tray.
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The water filter status light and display screen help you know when to change your water filter. Press the FILTER button to check the status of your water filter.
If the filter is new:
You must press FILTER to view the filter’s status. For a few seconds, the status light will be blue and the display screen will show what percentage of your filter’s life remains.
If it is almost time to change the filter:
The status light will automatically illuminate and will remain on, appearing yellow. The words “ORDER FILTER” will appear on the display screen. Press FILTER to see what percentage of your filter’s life remains. You should order the appropriate replacement filter. See “Accessories.”
If it is time to change the filter:
The status light will remain on, changing to red. The words “REPLACE FILTER” and “HOLD BUTTON TO RESET” will appear on the display screen until the filter has been changed and the status light has been reset.
To reset the water filter status light:
After changing the filter, reset the status light by pressing and holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds. The status light will blink red and change to blue, then turn off when the system is reset.
