Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT:
■ Allow 3 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. Allow 2 to 3 days for the
storage bin to fill completely following installation.
■
The dispensing system will not operate when either
refrigerator door or the freezer drawer is open.
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. Additional
flushing may be required in some households.
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.
2. Release the dispenser pad for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and
2 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.
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.
To check water pressure:
■ With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup 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" and
"Troubleshooting" for suggestions.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin. To turn off the ice
maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may continue
to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser
button or pad.
IMPORTANT: If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular
shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See "Water
Supply Requirements."
To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute:
Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can
build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.
If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the
ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage
bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.

■
If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and
delivery chute, using a plastic utensil.
■ Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage
bin using a warm, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
Dispensing
IMPORTANT:
■ Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so water or ice
will fall into the glass.
■ You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the button or pad
to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not make water or
ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
Press SELECT to toggle through the following choices in a
continuous loop. The icons on the display indicate your selection.
■ Water (default) - Dispenses water
■ Crushed Ice - Dispenses crushed ice
NOTE: 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.
■
Cubed Ice - Dispenses cubed ice.
NOTE: When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces
of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
