Water and Ice Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the water system. Press the Water button on the control panel. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the 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.
NOTE: After five minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, remove the container and press the dispensing lever again.
■Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
■The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice.
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

Dispense Ice and Water
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
1.Select water or cubed ice by touching the word “water” or “ice” on the control panel. The light above the control indicates your selection.
Remember
■The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
■Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
■Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.
2.Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3.Remove the container to stop dispensing.
