Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)
Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select shaved, crushed or cubed
ice; a rotating water dispenser faucet and pull-out tray; a special
light that turns on when you use the dispenser; a lock option to
avoid unintentional dispensing; or an indicator that tells you when
there has been a power outage.
IMPORTANT: The language of the text on the display screen can
be set to English, Spanish or French. For information about
changing the language, see "Using the Controls."
NOTES:
The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door
is open.
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, 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) for an additional
5 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water
dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in
some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
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.
The dispensers can be activated in two ways - by using the
dispenser pads located on the back wall of the dispenser
area, or by pressing the FILL buttons located on the
dispenser panel. If you wish to only use the dispenser pads,
the FILL buttons can be disabled. On the display screen,
press FEATURES, then PREFERENCES, then DISPENSE.
Select the desired setting, then wait 15 seconds or press
BACK, and the preference change will be saved.
The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a
backlight, which will turn off automatically when the controls
have not been used for 2 minutes or more. When the
backlight is off, the first press of a control button or the
display screen will only reactivate the backlight, without
changing any settings. Within 2 minutes after the backlight
has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons or
the display screen will change the applicable settings.
