The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad OR
place the glass below the water dispenser and press the
water dispenser button.
2. Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.
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.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when
the dispenser pad is pressed. The dispensing system will not
operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker,
see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
Your ice maker can produce shaved, crushed and cubed ice.
Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by
pressing the ICE SELECT button.
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
SHAVED
For shaved or crushed ice, cubes are shaved/crushed before
being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing
shaved or 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 the button to select 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 ice dispenser pad OR place
the glass below the ice dispenser and press the ice dispenser
button.
CRUSHED CUBED
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 or button in order to activate the ice dispenser.
Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in
greater quantities.
3. Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds
after removing the glass from the pad or releasing the button.
The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds
after dispensing.
The 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. The display screen indicates which mode is
selected.
ON
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

The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see
"Troubleshooting" for more information.
The 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
refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply
deactivates the dispenser controls and levers. To turn off the ice
maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.
