To Dispense Ice:
1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser pad. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to
the pad in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard
will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3=
Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds
after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
Dispenser Tray with Water Level Indicator
(on some models)
Your dispenser may include a small tray at the bottom of the
dispenser. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy
cleaning. The tray can be removed from the dispenser and
carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned.
NOTE: There is no drain in the tray. When the tray is full of water
and needs to be emptied, a small red indicator pops up at the
back of the tray.
Dispenser Light (on some models}
When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on.
If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either
ON or AUTO.
ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.
AUTO: Press LIGHT a second time to select AUTO mode. The
dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the
room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that can not be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure that
the light sensor is not blocked (in AUTO mode). See
"Troubleshooting" for more information.
Dispenser Lock (on some models)
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates
the ice and water dispensers. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice
Maker & Storage Bin."
• Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.
While the dispenser is locking, "LOCKING" will appear on the
display screen and the blue indicator light around the LOCK
button will flash. When the dispenser is locked, the indicator
light will change to red for a few seconds, then turn off.
Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.
While the dispenser is unlocking, "UNLOCKING" will appear
on the display screen and the red indicator light around the
LOCK button will flash. When the dispenser is unlocked, the
indicator light will change to blue for a few seconds, then turn
off.
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The water filter status light and display screen help you know
when to change your water filter. Press the FILTER button to
check the status of your water filter.
If the filter is new:
You must press FILTER to view the filter's status. For a few
seconds, the status light will be blue and the display screen will
show what percentage of your filter's life remains.
If it is almost time to change the filter:
The status light will automatically illuminate and will remain on,
appearing yellow. The words "ORDER FILTER" will appear on the
display screen. Press FILTER to see what percentage of your
filter's life remains. You should order the appropriate replacement
filter. See "Accessories."
If it is time to change the filter:
The status light will remain on, changing to red. The words
"REPLACE FILTER" and "HOLD BUTTON TO RESET" will appear
on the display screen until the filter has been changed and the
status light has been reset.
To reset the water filter status light:
After changing the filter, reset the status light by pressing and
holding the FILTER button for 3 seconds. The status light will
blink red and change to blue, then turn off when the system is
reset.
..... ......
The water filter indicator, located on the control panel, will help
you know when to change the water filter.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in
the display will decrease as the filter life is used. A replacement
water filter should be ordered when "Order Filter" is displayed. It
is recommended that you replace the filter when "Change Filter"
is displayed or when water flow to your water dispenser and/or
icemaker decreases noticeably. See "Changing the Water Filter"
later in this section.
