USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
The water dispenser
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat drawer. It holds approximately 11⁄2 quarts (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the water dispenser bar with a glass or jar until you draw and discard 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). The water you draw and discard rinses the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to cool a new tankful.
NOTE: The small tray beneath the dispenser is de- signed to evaporate small spills. There is no drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.
To dispense water:
1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser bar.
2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
