Dispensing Water
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 (237 mL) 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
■
(237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator
is lower than recommended. See the "Water Supply
Requirements" and "Troubleshooting" sections for
suggestions.
To Dispense Water - Standard:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser paddle.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: The Dispense Water button does not enable standard
dispensing. It only functions in Measured Fill or Favorite Fill
mode.
To Dispense Water - Measured Fill:
Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount
of water with the touch of a few buttons.
1. Put a sturdy glass under water spout. Touch MEASURED
FILL to activate.
NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed.
Make sure the container can hold the entire volume. If ice
is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.
2. Touch MEASURED FILL to turn on, then touch to select
8 oz (0.2 L), 16 oz (0.5 L), or 24 oz (0.7 L). Touch the fourth

and the selected amount of water will be dispensed.
NOTES:
The Measured Fill dispenser will automatically time out after
■

continuing to touch DISPENSE WATER (center button) after
each glass fill.

NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL]
per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz [237 mL]).
You may need to recalibrate Measured Fill to underfill or to avoid
unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.
