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 SETTINGS and LOCK buttons at the
same time for 3 seconds. The words "Back" and "1 Cup" will
appear on the display screen. Also, "CALIBRATION" will
illuminate and remain lit while the Measured Fill feature is
being calibrated.
NOTE: You may press the WATER/ICE button under the
word "Back" at any time to exit calibration mode. The
display screen's "CALIBRATION" 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" or
"Problem Solver" for suggestions.
To Dispense Water (Standard):
NOTE: While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after
dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how much
water has been dispensed. The default unit is ounces. To switch
to cups or liters, press the SETTINGS button, then press
MEASURED FILL to toggle through the available units.
Option 1:
1. Place a sturdy glass below the dispenser opening.

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.
