WATER DISPENSER & ICE SERVICE
WATER DISPENSER
Your refrigerator includes
an automatic water
dispenser on the front of
the refrigerator door. The
dispenser is designed to
accommodate containers
up to 7½ inches high.
DISPENSING WATER
To operate the water
dispenser, press a
drinking glass against
the dispensing button.
Hold the glass as far up
as possible, ensuring that the water dispensing spout is inside
the lip of the glass.
To stop dispensing water, pull the glass away from the
dispensing button. Dispensed water is not cold. For colder
water, first add ice to your drinking glass.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray located at the base of the dispenser catches
small spills and allows them to evaporate. This tray is
removable for easy cleaning.

DISPENSER LOCK
The water dispenser includes a switch that allows you to
disable the water dispenser. You can use this lock to prevent
accidental spills, such as those caused by children pressing
the dispensing button without a glass. The switch is located
below the locked/unlocked symbols on the dispenser face
plate.

CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply
water pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to
malfunction.
ICE MAKER
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will provide a
sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup
of your refrigerator, no ice will be produced during the first 24
hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the
ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray
of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately one to two days
to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of
ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice
made during the first 24 hours.
TURNING YOUR ICE MAKER ON
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the
water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container
under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower
the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON position.

Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the wire
signal arm in the ON position. To ensure proper function of
your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn ice
maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and
locks in the UP position.
If the ice maker is not turned off
and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will
make a loud chattering noise.
To Prime The Water Supply System:
1.
Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking
glass against the water dispenser button.
2.
Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the
dispenser. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters as
the system pushes air out through the system and
dispensing spout. This is normal. This may take about 1½
minutes.
