HOW tO PRImE tHE WAtER SUPPLY SYStEm

Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing 
lines, a water filter, a water valve and a water tank. 

to ensure 

that your water dispenser works properly, this system must 
be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is 
first connected to the household water supply line and 
whenever you replace the water filter.

to PriMe the Water suPPLY sYsteM:

  •  Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking   

glass against the water dispenser paddle.

  •  Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of    

the dispenser. There will be noticeable spurts and  

 

sputters as the system pushes air out through the  

 

system and dispenser nozzle. This is normal. 

this may   

take about 1½ minutes.

  •  Continue dispensing water for about 3 minutes to flush    

the system of any air and impurities. Empty glass as  

 

needed.

AUtOmAtIC ICE & WAtER DISPENSER OPERAtING INStRUCtIONS

features may vary according to model.

Crushed

Press the Crushed Touch Pad       to get crushed ice. A red indicator will appear above the Touch Pad. 
Press glass against ICE dispensing paddle      as far up as possible to catch all ice.

Cubed

Press the Cubed Touch Pad        to get cubed ice. A red indicator will appear above the Touch Pad. 
Press glass against ICE dispensing paddle       as far up as possible to catch all ice.

Light On

Press the Light On Touch Pad        to turn on dispenser light. A red indicator will appear above the 
Touch Pad.

Light Off

Press the Light Off Touch Pad        to turn off dispenser light.  A red indicator will appear above the 
Touch Pad.

Water

To operate the water dispenser, press a glass against the WATER dispensing paddle        . To stop 
dispensing water, pull the glass away from the dispensing paddle        . Dispensed water is not cold. 
For colder water, add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water. A drip tray located at the base 
of the dispenser catches small spills and allows them to evaporate. This drip tray is removable and 
dishwasher safe. Do not pour water and excess ice in this area because there is no drain.

CAUtION

for proper dispenser operation, recommended water 
supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. 
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.

NOtE

The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the 
water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. To reset this 
shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

CAUtION

Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the 
ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure 
that the softener is maintained and working properly.

ImPORtANt

Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the wire 
signal arm in the ON position (side mounted) or with the 
switch turned ON (rear mounted). To ensure proper function 
of your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn 
ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks 
and locks in the UP position (side mounted) or turn the 

On/

Off

 switch to the Off (

0

) position.

 If the ice maker is not 

turned off and the water supply is not connected, the 
water valve will make a loud chattering noise.
