The water dispenser
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat
drawer. It holds approximately 1 l/2 quarts (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the
water dispenser bar with a glass or jar until you draw
and discard 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). The water you
draw and discard rinses the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill a new tankful.
NOTE: The small tray beneath the dispenser is
designed to evaporate small spills. There is no drain
in this tray. Do not pour water into it.
To dispense water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water
dispenser bar.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to main-
tain a fresh supply.
The dispenser light
To turn on night light, slide dispenser LIGHT switch
to the left. See page 19 for directions for changing
the
dispenser light bulb.
