Water and Ice Dispensers
NOTES:
The dispensing system will not operate when either door
(refrigerator or freezer) is open.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
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.
The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off
automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and
dispenser pads 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
pad 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 pad (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.
Calibrate Measured Fill
Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the Measured Fill
feature. For optimum performance of your water dispenser, you must
first calibrate Measured Fill.
IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating Measured Fill.
1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the
dispenser tray, centered in front of the water dispenser pad.
NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be
provided.
2. Press and hold the OPTIONS and LOCK buttons at the same time
for 3 seconds. The words “Back” and “1 Cup” will appear on the
display screen. Also, “CALIBRATE” will illuminate and remain lit
while the Measured Fill feature is being calibrated.
NOTE: You may press the ICE TYPE button under the word “Back”
at any time to exit calibration mode. The display screen's
“CALIBRATE” text will turn off.
3. Using your hand (not the measuring cup), press and release the
water dispenser pad in order to dispense water to the 1 cup fill line.
NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and press
“Back” to restart the calibration process.
4. When 1 cup of water has been correctly dispensed into the
measuring cup, press the MEASURED FILL button under the word
“Confirm” to confirm the calibration.
When Measured Fill calibration has been confirmed, the display will
return to the home screen.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be
caused by low water pressure.
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.
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 “Problem Solver” for suggestions.
To Dispense Water (Standard):
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad. Hold the
glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the water
dispenses into the glass.
NOTE: While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after dispensing
has stopped, the digital display will show how much water has been
dispensed.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):
Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water with
the touch of a few buttons.
NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be sure that
the container is empty and can hold the entire volume. If ice is in the
container, you may need to adjust your selection.
IMPORTANT: Low water pressure may affect the accuracy of this
feature.
1. Press MEASURED FILL to turn the feature on. When the feature is
on, the Measured Fill screen appears on the display.
Press ICE TYPE to manually turn off the Measured Fill feature.
NOTE: The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill after
1 minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned off, any
changes you have made will be lost and all defaults will be restored.
