Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT:

■ Allow 3 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the rst batch of ice. Discard the

rst three batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days for the

storage bin to ll 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 lter, ush the water system.

Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water

line and lter and prepares the water lter for use. Additional

ushing 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 paddle for 5 seconds.

2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1

and 2 until water begins to ow.

3. Once water begins to ow, 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 ow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be

caused by low water pressure.

To check water pressure:

■ With the water lter 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 paddle.

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 rst cubes.
