IM PO RTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds,
then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to
flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush
air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare
the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in
some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door
is open.
Allow 24 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.
Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable 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 tray
can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be
emptied or cleaned.

CUBES CRUSHED
• For cubed ice, press the CUBES button.
• For crushed ice, press the CRUSHED button.
NOTE: For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being
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
Cubes, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along
with the first cubes.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of the glass.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the
dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When
the dispenser lever is pressed:
• A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the
ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.
• When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes
and the ice dispensing stops.
3.
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 quantities.
Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor from
new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take large
amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the dispenser.
Dispenser Light (on some models)
The dispenser area has a light. When you use the dispenser, the
lever will automatically turn the light on. It can be turned on or off
manually by pressing the ON or OFF button.
