Water And Ice Dispensers - Whirlpool Refrigerator User Instructions

IMPORTANT: 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 pad 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 pad (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.
NOTES:
■
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. 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 pads 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. After reactivation, changes to any
settings can then be made. If no changes are made within
2 minutes, the display will re-enter "sleep" mode.
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 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 OPTIONS and LOCK buttons at the same
time for 3 seconds. The words "Back" and "1 Cup" will appear
on the display screen. Also, "CALIBRATE" will illuminate and
remain lit while the Measured Fill feature is being calibrated.
NOTE: You may press the ICE TYPE button under the word
"Back" at any time to exit calibration mode. The display
screen's "CALIBRATE" 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 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
"Troubleshooting" for suggestions.
■ Limit water dispensing time to a maximum of 2 minutes at a
time.
To Dispense Water (Standard):
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad.
NOTE: While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after
dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how
much water has been dispensed.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):
Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water
with the touch of a few buttons.
NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be sure
that the container is empty and can hold the entire volume. If ice is
in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.
IMPORTANT: Low water pressure may affect the accuracy of this
feature.
1. Press MEASURED FILL to turn the feature on. When the
feature is on, the Measured Fill screen appears on the display.
Press ICE TYPE to manually turn off the Measured Fill feature.
NOTE: The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill
after 1 minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned off,
any changes you have made will be lost and all defaults will be
restored.
