Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, 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) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

NOTES:

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

■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 display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for

2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen, without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

To Dispense Water (Standard):

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

NOTE: While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how much water has been dispensed.

2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

2.You can dispense water by the ounce, cup, or liter. The default unit is ounces. To switch to cups or liters, press the LIGHT button.

Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed below.

Units	Default	Minimum	Maximum
Ounces	8	1	128
Cups	1	¹/₄	16
Liters	0.25	0.05	4.00

3.Press the LOCK and OPTIONS buttons to adjust the volume as desired. The LOCK button increases the volume, and the OPTIONS button lowers the volume.

NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL] per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz [237 mL]). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.

4.To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever OR place the glass below the water dispenser and press the MEASURED FILL button.

NOTE: While dispensing water, the digital display will count down how much water remains to be dispensed, according to the volume you selected. The flow of water will automatically stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.

5.To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser lever OR press the MEASURED FILL button a second time.

NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has been dispensed, the digital display will continue to show how much water remains to be dispensed. The display will turn off after 1 minute of inactivity.

To select a new volume or start dispensing the same volume again, you must first finish dispensing the selected volume, or turn off the Measured Fill feature (either by waiting 1 minute so it will automatically turn off or by pressing ICE MODE to manually turn it off) and then turn it back on.

To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water with the touch of a few buttons.

NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be sure that the container is empty and can hold the entire volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.

IMPORTANT: Low water pressure may affect the accuracy of this feature.

1.Press MEASURED FILL to turn the feature on. When the feature is on, the Measured Fill screen appears on the display.

Press ICE MODE to manually turn off the Measured Fill feature.

NOTE: The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill after 1 minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned off, any changes you have made will be lost and all defaults will be restored.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the ICE MODE button.

The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

CRUSHED CUBED

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.
