■ 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. 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. 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 "Troubleshooting" or "Problem Solver" for suggestions. To Dispense Water: 1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser pad. Hold the glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the water dispenses into the glass. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected. CRUSHED 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 ice guide to ensure that the ice dispenses into the glass. A A A. Water dispenser spout 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. A. Ice guide 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 DIM 7
