Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT:
Allow 3 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.
The dispensing system will not operate when either the
■
refrigerator door or 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 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. Additional
flushing 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 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.

Calibrate Measured Fill

Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the
Measured Fill feature. So, 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 paddle.
NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be
provided.

time for 3 seconds. The words "Back" and "1 Cup" will

Fill icon will illuminate and remain lit while the Measured Fill
feature is being calibrated.
NOTE: You may press ICE MODE "Back" at any time to exit
calibration mode. The Calibrate Measured Fill icon will turn off.
3. Press and release the water dispenser paddle, as needed, to
dispense water to the 1 cup fill line.
NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and
press ICE MODE "Back" to restart the calibration process.
