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.
Calibrate Measured Fill
Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the Measured Fill feature. So, for optimum performance of your water dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill.
IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating Measured Fill.
1.Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the dispenser tray centered in front of the water dispenser paddle.
NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be provided.
A
B
A. Water dispenser paddle
B. Measuring cup (1 cup)
2.Press and hold the OPTIONS and LOCK buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The words “Back” and “1 Cup” will appear on the display screen. Also, the Calibrate Measured Fill icon will illuminate and remain lit while the Measured Fill feature is being calibrated.
NOTE: You may press ICE MODE “Back” at any time to exit calibration mode. The Calibrate Measured Fill icon will turn off.
3.Press and release the water dispenser paddle, as needed, to dispense water to the 1 cup fill line.
NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and press ICE MODE “Back” to restart the calibration process.
