
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 dis -
penser paddle.
Priming the water supply system
1. Begin filling the system by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the
water dispenser paddle.
2. Keep the glass in this position until
water comes out of the dispenser. It may
take about 1
½
minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about 4
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Ice maker operation and care
After you properly install the refrigerator
and it has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The
ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear.
You must dispense some ice to force the ice
forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to
fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
In a Standard Depth model, the refrigerator
ice maker should produce 3.0 to 3.4 pounds
of ice per 24 hours. In a Counter Depth
model, the refrigerator ice maker should
produce 2.7 to 3.2 pounds of ice per 24
hours.
In a Standard Depth model, the refrigerator
ice bin will hold around 5 pounds of ice. In
a Counter Depth model, the refrigerator ice
bin will hold around 3.7 pounds of ice.
Using the dispenser after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in 2 or 3 empty
ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system
is not flushed, the first ice cubes may have
discolored water or have an odd flavor.

NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder
water, add ice to cup or container before
dispensing water.
