The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
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 TYPE 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.
To Dispense Ice:
1.Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch between cubed and crushed, press ICE TYPE.

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.

Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2.Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

Water Filter StatusLight
The water filter status lights help you know when to change your water filter. When the water filter status icon changes from Normal (blue water) to Order (red waves) and “Order Filter” (orange) this tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter. Replace the disposable water filter when “Replace Filter” (red) illuminates and the icons blink continuously during dispensing.
NOTES:
■After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the “Replace Filter” and “water” icons will glow (red) at all times and blink continuously during dispensing. Also, an alert chime will sound three times following dispensing.
■The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every
6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter more often. To change the filter, see “Water Filtration System.”
After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status. On the display screen, press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds. The status light will change from Replace Filter (red) to Normal (blue water) when the system is reset.
