Water and Ice Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the water dispenser pad 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 pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush
air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare
the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in
some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
NOTE:
After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the
dispensing lever again.
■
The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice.
■
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
■
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
Dispense Ice and Water
1.
Select water or cubed ice by touching the word WATER or ICE
on the control panel. The light above the control indicates
your selection.
2.
Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.
IMPORTANT:
You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to
the lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard
will not make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater
quantities.
3.
Remove the container to stop dispensing.
Dispenser Light
NOTES:
■
The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be
changed.
■
When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn
the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you
may choose either On or Auto.
Auto:
The light sensor monitors the light level in the room. The
dispenser light will illuminate at half-power when the light level
is low. To activate the Auto option, press the LIGHT button. The
Auto indicator light will illuminate.
On:
For continuous light, press the LIGHT button a second time.
The On indicator light will illuminate.
Off:
To turn the dispenser light off, press the LIGHT button a third
time.
Dispenser Lock
The dispenser can be locked for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE:
The dispenser lock does not shut off power to the
product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It just
deactivates the dispenser lever.
To Lock and Unlock Dispenser:
■
Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK touch pad for 3 seconds
to lock the dispenser. The indicator light will illuminate when
Lock is on.
■
Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK touch pad again for 3
seconds to unlock dispenser. The indicator light will turn off.
Water Filtration System
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Water Filter Status Lights
When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator the water
filter status lights will remind you when it is time to order and
replace your water filter.
■
The Order light (yellow) will illuminate when 90% of the
volume of water for which the filter is rated has passed
through the filter OR 5 months have passed since the filter
was installed.
■
The Replace light (red) will illuminate when the rated volume
of water has passed through the filter OR 6 months have
passed since the filter was installed. A new water filter should
be installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated.
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every
6 months OR earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably.
Reset Water Filter Status
After replacing the water filter, press and hold RESET FILTER or
FILTER RESET (depending on your model) for 3 seconds. The
Order and Replace indicator lights will blink and then go off when
the system is reset. See “Using the Controls.”
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
