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 the "Water Supply Requirements" or
"Troubleshooting" section for suggestions.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever. Hold
the glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the
water dispenses into the glass.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
IMPORTANT: The small tray at the bottom of the dispenser is
designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is
no drain in the tray.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see the
"Ice Maker and Storage Bin" section.
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the
Ice Type button.
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are 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. Press button for the desired type of ice.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the ice guide to ensure that the ice dispenses
into the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will
not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantites.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after
removing the glass. The dispenser may continue to make noise
for a few seconds after dispensing.
