Dispense Ice and Water
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
IMPORTANT:
The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice, or both
water and cubed ice.
The Front Fill feature allows you to dispense water into
containers that will not fit within the dispenser area, such as
sport bottles.
To Dispense Water or Ice Cubes:
1. Select water or cube ice by pressing the corresponding touch
pad on the dispenser control panel. A light above the touch
pad indicates your selection.
2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not
make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the container to stop dispensing.
To Dispense Water and Ice Cubes Together:
1. Select Cube. A light above the touch pad indicates your
selection.
2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever while
pressing the Front Fill touch pad.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not
make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the container to stop dispensing.
Dispenser Light
NOTES:
The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be
changed.
When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn
the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you
may choose either On or Auto.
Auto: The dispenser light will illuminate at half-power when the
light sensor detects the light levels in the room are low. To turn the
dispenser light on, press the Light touch pad. The Auto indicator
light will illuminate.
On: For continuous light, press the Light touch pad a second
time. The On indicator light will illuminate.
Off: To turn the dispenser light off, press the Light touch pad a
third time.
Dispenser Lock
The dispenser can be locked for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The dispenser lock does not shut off power to the product,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It just deactivates the
dispenser lever.
To Lock and Unlock Dispenser:
Press and hold the Lock/Unlock touch pad for 3 seconds to lock
the dispenser. The indicator light will illuminate when Lock is on.
Press and hold the Lock/Unlock touch pad again for 3 seconds to
unlock dispenser. The indicator light will turn off.
Water Filtration System
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
Water Filter Status Lights
The water filter status lights will remind you when it is time to
order and replace your water filter. When the yellow (Order) light is
on, it is almost time to change the water filter. When the red
(Replace) light is on, a new water filter should be installed. The
disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months
OR earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably.
After replacing the water filter, press and hold Reset Filter or Filter
Reset (depending on your model) for 3 seconds. The Order and
Replace indicator lights will blink and then go off when the system
is reset. See "Using the Controls."
Replacing the Water Filter
To purchase a replacement water filter, model UKF8001AXX-750
or UKF8001AXX-200, contact your dealer or call 1-800-688-9900
U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 Canada.
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water
and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes
before removing the filter or blue bypass cap.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.
2. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the
filter end into the filter head.
