The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin.”
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the
ICE TYPE button.
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
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 changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch
between cubed and crushed, press ICE TYPE.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. 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
lever 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 lever. The dispenser may
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
The Dispenser Light
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 DIM. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.
ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.
DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. The
dispenser light will remain on, but at a lower intensity.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see
“Troubleshooting” for more information.
The Dispenser Lock
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 refrigerator,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
controls and dispenser levers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin.”
■
Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.
■
Press and hold LOCK, for 3 seconds, a second time to unlock
the dispenser.
The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.
Water Filter Status Light
The water filter status lights help you know when to change your
water filter. When the water filter status icon changes from Normal
(blue water) to Order (red waves) and “Order Filter” (orange) this
tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter. Replace
the disposable water filter when “Replace Filter” (red) illuminates
and the icons blink continuously during dispensing.
NOTES:
■
After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the “Replace Filter” and
“water” icons will glow (red) at all times and blink
continuously during dispensing. Also, an alert chime will
sound three times following dispensing.
■
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every
6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace
the water filter more often. To change the filter, see “Water
Filtration System.”
After changing the water filter, reset the water filter status. On the
display screen, press and hold FILTER RESET for 3 seconds. The
status light will change from Replace Filter (red) to Normal (blue
water) when the system is reset.
