Water and Ice Dispensers
NOTES:
J
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is
open.
J
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
J
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first
three batches of ice produced. Wait 72 hours for full ice production.
J
The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off
automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and
dispenser lever have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in
“sleep” mode, the first press of a control button will only reactivate
the display screen, without changing any settings.
Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to
drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Flushing the water dispensing
system forces air from the water line and filter, and prepares the water
filter for use.
NOTE:
As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
1.
Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser
lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.
2.
Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow.
3.
Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the
dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal.
(12 L) has been dispensed.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
J
Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
J
If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be
caused by low water pressure.
J
With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water.
If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water
pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.
J
If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water, the
water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended.
See “Water Supply Requirements” (in the User Instructions
or the Installation Instructions and Owner’s Manual) or
“Troubleshooting” for suggestions.
To Dispense Water:
1.
Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the water

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the
water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to
a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt)
can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water
softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin.
This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser
mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.
