ABOUT THE ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
(on some models)
To use the dispenser
Select CUBED ICE, CRUSHED ICE or WATER� Press the
glass gently against the top of the dispenser cradle� The
spill shelf is not self-draining� To reduce water spotting,
the shelf and its grill should be cleaned regularly� If
no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system� Press
the dispenser arm for at least two minutes to remove
trapped air from the water line and to fill the water
system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw
away the first six glassfuls of water.
Caution: Never put fingers or any other objects into the
ice crusher discharge opening.
Locking the dispenser
Press the LOCK (CONTROL) pad for 3 seconds to lock the
dispenser and control panel� To unlock, press and hold
the pad again for 3 seconds�
On glass touch models touch both (+) and (-) buttons
holding for 3 seconds in order to activate this function�
To unlock touch again for 3 seconds�
Dispenser Light
The LIGHT pad turns the night light in the dispenser on
and off. The light also comes on when the dispenser
cradle is pressed�
Quick Ice (on some models)
When you need ice in a hurry, press the QUICK ICE
pad to speed up ice production� This will increase ice
production for the following 48 hours or until you press
the pad again�
Door Alarm
To set the alarm, press the DOOR ALARM pad until the
indicator light comes on� This alarm will sound if either
door is open for more than 3 minutes. The light turns off
and the beeping stops when you close the door�
Important facts about your dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the Ice bin� It may
not crush or dispense well. Avoid overfilling glass with
ice and use of narrow glasses� Backed-up ice can jam
the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut� If
ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden
spoon� Beverages and foods should not be quick chilled
in the ice storage bin� Cans, bottles or food packages
in the storage bin may cause the ice maker or auger
to jam� To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass,
put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser
opening�
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you
selected CUBED ICE� This happens occasionally when a
few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher� After
crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the
chute� Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on
the door in the ice chute� This condition is normal and
usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly� The snow will eventually evaporate�
ABOUT THE WATER FILTER
(on some models)
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper
right corner of the refrigerator compartment�
When to Replace the Filter
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months
or earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or
ice maker decreases� On models with a replacement
indicator light, this light will turn orange to tell you need
to replace the filter.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old
one by slowly turning it to the left� Do not pull down on
the cartridge� A small amount of water may drip down�
