Dispensing
Press ICE/WATER to toggle through the following choices in a
continuous loop:
■ Water (default) - Dispenses water
■ Cubed - Dispenses cubed ice.
■ Crushed - Dispenses crushed ice
NOTES:
■ The word “ICE” appears on the display screen when
either crushed or cubed ice is selected.
■ 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.
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 (237 mL) 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
(237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is
lower than recommended. See “Water Supply
Requirements” and “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.
To Dispense Water (Standard):
1. Select water.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle.
NOTE: While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after
dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how
much water has been dispensed.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
To Dispense Water (Measured Fill):
Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specified amount of water
with the touch of a few controls.
NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Be
sure that the container is empty and can hold the entire volume. If
ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.
1. Press MEASURED FILL to turn on the feature. When the
feature is on, the Measured Fill screen appears on the display.
NOTES:
■ The dispenser will automatically turn off Measured Fill
after 1 minute of inactivity. When Measured Fill is turned
off, any changes you have made will be lost and all
defaults will be restored.
■ Press ICE/WATER “Back,” to manually turn off the
Measured Fill feature.
2. Press LIGHT, under Units, to toggle among ounce, cup and
liter. The default unit is ounce.
Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed below.
3. Press LOCK or OPTIONS to adjust the water volume as
desired. The LOCK control increases the volume, and the
OPTIONS control lowers the volume.
NOTES:
■ When increasing or decreasing the dispense volumes, if
an adjustment button (-/+) is held for approximately
10 seconds or longer the control may stop responding.
Release the button for approximately 2 seconds and then
continue making the adjustment.
■ Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL]
per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz
[237 mL]). You may need to adjust the volume to avoid
unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.
4. Dispense water.
NOTE: While dispensing water, the digital display will count
down how much water remains to be dispensed, according
to the volume you selected. The flow of water will
automatically stop once the desired volume has been
dispensed.
■ Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle.
OR
■ Place the glass below the water dispenser and press
MEASURED FILL, under Dispense, for hands-free
dispensing.
