2. Press button for the desired type of ice.
3. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. 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 lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard
will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
4. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor
from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take
large amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the
dispenser.
The Dispenser Light
The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by
pressing the ON button (touchpad or rocker switch).
On some models: Whenever you use the dispenser, the lever will
automatically turn the light on.
NOTE: See “Changing the Light Bulbs” for information on
changing the dispenser light bulb.
The Dispenser Lock (on some models)
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 dispenser levers.
To turn off the dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator
will appear above the LOCK button and the ice and water
dispensers will not work. To unlock the dispenser, press the
UNLOCK button until the indicator appears. Then continue to
dispense ice or water as usual.
Water Filter Status Light
The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. When the status light changes from green to
yellow, this tells you that it is almost time to change the water
filter. It is recommended that you replace the filter when the
status light changes to red OR when water flow to your water
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. The filter should be
replaced at least every 6 months. To change the filter, see
“Changing the Water Filter” later in this section.
After changing the water filter, reset the status light by pressing
and holding the RESET button for 2 seconds. The status light will
change from Replace (red) to Good (green) when the system is
reset.
Water Filtration System
Changing the Water Filter
The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer
compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille
to remove the filter.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling
straight out on the filter cap.
NOTES:
■ Avoid twisting the cap when removing the filter because
this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs,
replace the cap and pull the filter straight out.
■ There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.
