Water and Ice Dispensers
(on some models)
Depending on your model, your water and ice dispensers may
have one or more of the following features: a removable dispenser
tray, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a
lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
NOTES:
■
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door
is open.
■
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the
water 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
5 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.
■
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad.
NOTES:
■
While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after dispensing
has stopped, the digital display will show how many
ounces of water have been dispensed.
■
To switch from ounces to cups, press and hold ICE and
LOCKOUT at the same time until the dispenser beeps
after 3 seconds. To switch from cups to liters, press and
hold the buttons for another 3 seconds. To switch back to
ounces, repeat the process a third time.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser pad is pressed. The dispensing system will not
operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker,
see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. The
display screen reads “CRUSHED” or “CUBED,” indicating which
type is selected. To change the setting, press the ICE button
before dispensing ice.
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. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser pad. 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
pad 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 pad. The dispenser may
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
Removable Dispenser Tray (on some models)
Your dispenser may include a small tray at the bottom of the
dispenser. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy
cleaning. The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried
to the sink to be emptied or cleaned.
NOTE: There is no drain in the tray. When the tray is full of water, it
will need to be removed and emptied.
The Dispenser Light (on some models)
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 AUTO.
ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.
AUTO: Press LIGHT a second time to select AUTO mode. The
dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the
room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure that
the light sensor is not blocked (in AUTO mode). See
“Troubleshooting” for more information.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
