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 the ice maker is 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.
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 can not 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.
Dispenser Lock (on some models)
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to
the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
ice and water dispensers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin.”
■
Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.
While the dispenser is locking, “LOCKING” will appear on the
display screen and the blue indicator light around the LOCK
button will flash. When the dispenser is locked, the indicator
light will change to red for a few seconds, then turn off.
■
Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.
While the dispenser is unlocking, “UNLOCKING” will appear
on the display screen and the red indicator light around the
LOCK button will flash. When the dispenser is unlocked, the
indicator light will change to blue for a few seconds, then turn
off.
Water Filtration System
Depending on your model, there may be a water filter indicator or
water filter status lights on the control panel. Follow the
instructions specific to your model.
Water Filter Indicator (dispenser models)
The water filter indicator, located on the control panel, will remind
you when it is time to order and replace the water filter.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in
the display will decrease as the filter life is used. A replacement
water filter should be ordered when “Order Filter” is displayed.
When “Change Filter” is displayed, a new water filter should be
installed.
The disposable water filter should be replaced every 6 months OR
earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably.
After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for
2 seconds until the indicator display changes to 99%. See “Using
the Controls.”
Water Filter Status Lights (non-dispenser models)
The water filter status lights will remind you when it is time to
order and replace the water filter. When the Order Filter light is on,
it is almost time to change the water filter. When the Replace Filter
light is on, a new water filter should be installed.
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6
months OR earlier if the flow of water to the ice maker decreases
noticeably.
After replacing the water filter, press and hold RESET FILTER for
3 seconds. The Good light will turn on when the filter tracking
feature is reset. See “Using the Controls.”
Changing the Water Filter
The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer
compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille to
remove the filter.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling
straight out on the filter cap.
NOTES:
■
Avoid twisting the cap when removing the filter because
this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs,
replace the cap and pull the filter straight out.
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.
