Water And Ice Dispensers - Kenmore 106.5116 Use & Care Manual

NOTES:
The dispensing system will not operate when either door
(refrigerator or freezer) 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. Wait 72 hours for full
ice production.
The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn
off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the control
buttons and dispenser pad have not been used for 2 minutes
or more. While in "sleep" mode, the first press of a control
button will only reactivate the display screen, without
changing any settings.
Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water
dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water
source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system.
Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water
line and filter, and prepares the water filter for use.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water
dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.
2. Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow.
3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
Dispensing Options
Your dispenser can dispense water and ice in two ways.
The DISPENSE WATER button, located below the dispenser
control panel's display screen, dispenses only water.
The dispenser pad is the pad located along the rear wall of
the dispenser cavity. When pressed, it dispenses either water
or ice, depending on the chosen setting.
To dispense both water and ice at the same time, select the
desired type of ice and dispense it using the dispenser pad, then
press the DISPENSE WATER button while still dispensing ice.
Calibrate Measured Fill
Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the
Measured Fill feature. For optimum performance of your water
dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill.
IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating
Measured Fill.
1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the
dispenser tray, centered in front of the water dispenser pad.
NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be
provided.

2. Press and hold the SETTINGS and LOCK buttons at the
same time for 3 seconds. The words "Back" and "1 Cup" will
appear on the display screen. Also, "CALIBRATION" will
illuminate and remain lit while the Measured Fill feature is
being calibrated.
NOTE: You may press the WATER/ICE button under the
word "Back" at any time to exit calibration mode. The
display screen's "CALIBRATION" text will turn off.
3. Using your hand (not the measuring cup), press and release
the water dispenser pad in order to dispense water to the
1 cup fill line.
NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and
press "Back" to restart the calibration process.
4. When 1 cup of water has been correctly dispensed into the
measuring cup, press the MEASURED FILL button under the
word "Confirm" to confirm the calibration.
When Measured Fill calibration has been confirmed, the display
will return to the home screen.
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 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 of
water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower
than recommended. See "Water Supply Requirements"
or "Problem Solver" for suggestions.
