■ When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of
crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.
Water
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 (237 mL) 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
(237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator
is lower than recommended. See "Water Supply
Requirements" and "Troubleshooting" for suggestions.
To Dispense Water - Standard:
1. Select WATER.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
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. Make
sure the container is empty and that it can hold the entire volume.
If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.
1. Press MEASURED FILL to turn the feature on. When the
feature is ON, the Measured Fill screen appears on the
display.
NOTES:
■
The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill
after 1 minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned
off, any changes you have made will be lost and all
defaults will be restored.
■ Press ICE MODE, under "Back," to manually turn off the
Measured Fill feature and return to the Home screen.
2. Press LIGHT, under Units, to toggle among ounce, cup, and
liter. The default unit is ounce.
Crushed Cubed
Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed in the
following chart:
Units Default
Ounces 8
Cups 1
Liters 0.25
3. Press the LOCK (+) or OPTIONS (-) button to adjust the
volume as desired. The Lock control increases the volume,
and the Options control lowers the volume.
NOTES:
■
When increasing or decreasing the dispense volumes,
if an adjustment button (-/+) is held for approximately
10 seconds or longer, the control may stop responding.
Release the button for approximately 2 seconds, and then
continue making the adjustment.
■ Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL]
per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz
[237 mL]). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid
unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.
4. Dispense water.
NOTE: While dispensing water, the digital display will count
down how much water remains to be dispensed, according to
the volume you selected. The flow of water will automatically
stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.
■ Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle.
■ Place the glass below the water dispenser and press
MEASURED FILL, under Dispense, for hands-free
dispensing.
5. To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been
dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser lever OR
press the Measured Fill button a second time.
NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has
been dispensed, the digital display will continue to show how
much water remains to be dispensed. The display will turn off
after 1 minute of inactivity.
6. To select a new volume or start dispensing the same volume
again, you must first finish dispensing the selected volume or
turn off the Measured Fill feature (either by waiting 1 minute,
so it will automatically turn off, or by pressing ICE MODE to
manually turn it off) and then turn it back on.
The Ice Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■ If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it
could be because of low water pressure. See "Water
Supply Requirements."
■ Ice travels from the ice storage bin through the dispenser
chute to the dispenser. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice
Maker and Storage Bin."
■ The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may
continue to dispense for several seconds after releasing
the dispenser button or paddle.
To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute:
Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can
build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.
If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the
ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage
bin, and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.
■ If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and
delivery chute using a plastic utensil.
■ Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage
bin using a warm, damp cloth, and then dry thoroughly.
