REFRIGERATOR USE
Water and Ice Dispensers
IMPORTANT:
■Allow 3 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 dispensing system will not operate when either the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is open.
Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system.
Flushing the water dispensing system, forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
1.Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
2.Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
3.Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
■If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.
■With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup (237 mL) of water is dispensed in
8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.
■If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup
(237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” and “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.
To Dispense Water - Standard:
1.Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle.
2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing
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. Make sure the container is empty and that it can hold the entire volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.
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, under Back, to manually turn off the Measured Fill feature and return to the home screen.
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.
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 under Units.
Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed in the following chart:
Units | Default | Minimum | Maximum |
|

Ounces | 8 | 1 | 128 |

Cups | 1 | ¹/₄ | 16 |

3.Press the LOCK (+) and OPTIONS
NOTES:
■When increasing or decreasing the dispense volumes, if an adjustment button
10 seconds or longer the control may stop responding. Release the button for approximately 2 seconds and then continue making the adjustment.
■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.
