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.

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.

To Dispense Water:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when

the dispenser pad is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice

Maker and Storage Bin."

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before

dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the

ICE TYPE button.

The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

CRUSHED

Water and Ice Dispensers

CUBED

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 cubed, a few ounces of crushed

ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch

between cubed and crushed, press ICE TYPE.

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. 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 several seconds after

removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue

to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Light

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 DIM. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.

ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.

DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. The

dispenser light will remain on, but at a lower intensity.

OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.

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

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

controls and dispenser pads. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice

Maker and Storage Bin."

Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.
