Slide the door chill control to the left to reduce the flow of
cold air to the bin and make it less cold.
Slide the door chill control to the right to increase the flow of
cold air to the bin and make it colder.
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 pad 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. After reactivation, changes to any
settings can then be made. If no changes are made within
2 minutes, the display will re-enter "sleep" mode.
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.
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
"Troubleshooting" for suggestions.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press the DISPENSE TYPE arrows on the dispenser control
panel, until "Water" is selected.
2. To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the dispenser
pad OR press the WATER button.
3. To stop dispensing, remove the glass from the dispenser pad
OR release the WATER button.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser pad is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice
Maker and Storage Bin."
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing
the DISPENSE TYPE arrows.
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
CRUSHED CUBED
For crushed ice, 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.
When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch
between cubed and crushed, press the DISPENSE TYPE
arrows.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2. To dispense ice, press a sturdy glass against the dispenser
pad OR press the ICE button. Hold the glass close to the
dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to
the pad in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard
will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. To stop dispensing, remove the glass from the dispenser pad
OR release the ICE button.
