Remember
■
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 bin. This
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
■
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
Water and Ice Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system. Press the Water button on the dispenser
control panel. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the
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 2 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.
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.
■
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
IMPORTANT:
■
The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice, or both
water and cubed ice.
■
The Front Fill feature allows you to dispense water into
containers that will not fit within the dispenser area, such as
sport bottles.
To Dispense Water or Ice Cubes:
1. Select water or cube ice by pressing the corresponding touch
pad on the dispenser control panel. A light above the touch
pad 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.
To Dispense Water and Ice Cubes Together:
1. Select Cube. A light above the touch pad indicates your
selection.
2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever while
pressing the Front Fill touch pad.
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.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
