Water and Ice Dispenser Controls

TO DISPENSE WATER (STANDARD)
IMPORTANT: Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever. NOTE: While dispensing water and for 3 seconds after dispensing has stopped, the digital display will show how much water has been dispensed.
2. 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 buttons.
• 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.
• Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the Measured Fill feature. For optimum performance of your water dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill.

How to calibrate Measured Fill:
IMPORTANT: Flush the water system before calibrating Measured Fill.

1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1-cup [237 mL] size) on the dispenser tray centered in front of the water dispenser paddle. NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be provided.

2. Press and hold the Options and Lock buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The words “Back” and “1 Cup” will appear on the display screen. Also, the Calibrate Measured Fill icon will illuminate and remain lit while the Measured Fill feature is being calibrated.
   NOTE: You may press Ice Type “Back” at any time to exit calibration mode. The Calibrate Measured Fill icon will disappear.

3. Press and release the water dispenser paddle, as needed, to dispense water to the 1 cup fill line.
   NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and press “Back” to restart the calibration process.

4. When 1 cup of water has been correctly dispensed into the measuring cup, touch Measured Fill to confirm the calibration.

When Measured Fill calibration has been confirmed, the Calibration icon will disappear and the display will return to the home screen.

1. Press Measured Fill to turn the feature on. When the feature is on, the Measured Fill screen appears on the display. Press Ice Type to manually turn off the Measured Fill feature.
   NOTE: 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.

2. You can dispense water by the ounce, cup, or liter. The default unit is ounces. To switch to cups or liters, press the Light button.
   Default, minimum, and maximum volumes are listed below. Units| Default| Minimum| Maximum
   ---|---|---|---
   Ounces| 8| 1| 128
   Cups| 1| 1/4| 16
   Liters| 0.25| 0.05| 4.00

3. Press the Lock and Options buttons to adjust the volume as desired. The Lock button increases the volume, and the Options button lowers the volume.
   NOTE: 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. To dispense water, press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever or place the glass below the water dispenser and press the Measured Fill button.
   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.

5. To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, remove the glass from the dispenser lever or press the Measured Fill button a second time.
   NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has been dispensed, the digital display will continue to show how much water remains to be dispensed. The display will turn off after 1 minute of inactivity.

6. To select a new volume or start dispensing the same volume again, you must first finish dispensing the selected volume, or turn off the Measured Fill feature (either by waiting 1 minute so it will automatically turn off or by pressing Ice Type to manually turn it off) and then turn it back on.

TO DISPENSE ICE

• Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” in the Owner’s Manual.

• 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. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

  1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch between cubed and crushed, press Ice Type.
     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.
     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 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.

  3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
     NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

Rotating Faucet and Pull-Out Tray (on some models)

• On some models, the dispenser has a rotating water faucet and a pull-out tray at the bottom.

• The faucet rotates to the center to allow for easy dispensing into large containers. To rotate it, push in on the right-hand side of the faucet. Push in on the left-hand side to rotate the faucet back into place.
  NOTE: When using the dispenser with the faucet rotated, do not use the water dispenser pad. Use only the water dispenser button to dispense. Dispensing by pressing the container against the water dispenser pad may result in unintentional spilling.

• The tray can be pulled out a bit in order to better support large containers. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.
  NOTE: The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned. Pull the tray out until it hits the stop, then gently lift up on the back of the tray and slide it out the rest of the way.

Additional Control Panel Features

POWER OUTAGE INDICATOR

• The power outage indicator lets you know if the power supply to the refrigerator has been cut off and the freezer temperature has risen to 18°F (-8°C) or higher.
• When power has been restored, “PO” repeatedly flashes on the display screen and the red Power Outage icon appears. When the indicator is on, all other control and dispenser functions are disabled until you confirm that you are aware of the power outage.
• To enable other functions, press Measured Fill to reset the display screen to its normal status.

DOOR AJAR ALARM
The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the refrigerator door(s), drawers, or freezer drawer is open for 5 minutes and cooling is turned on. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close all doors and drawer to turn it off. The feature then is reset and will reactivate when either door is left open again for 5 minutes.
NOTE: To mute the audible alarm while keeping the doors open, such as while cleaning the inside of the refrigerator, press any button on the control panel. The alarm sound will be temporarily turned off, but the Door Ajar icon will still be displayed on the dispenser control panel.

DISABLING SOUNDS

• To turn off all control and dispenser sounds, press and hold Ice Type and Measured Fill at the same time for 3 seconds.
• To turn all sounds back on, press and hold Ice Type and Measured Fill at the same time for 3 seconds again.

SABBATH MODE

• Sabbath Mode is designed for those whose religious observances require turning off the lights and dispensers.

• In Sabbath Mode, the temperature set points remain unchanged, but the interior and dispenser lights turn off, all sounds and alarms are disabled, the dispenser display screen back light turns off, and the dispenser levers are disabled. The ice maker is also disabled; however, the “Ice Maker Off” icon will not appear in the display.

  • To turn on Sabbath Mode, press and hold Light and Options at the same time for 3 seconds. When the feature turns on,
    “Sabbath Mode” will appear on the dispenser display.

  • To turn off Sabbath Mode, press and hold Light and Options at the same time for 3 seconds again. The screen will display the settings as they were before Sabbath Mode was turned on. The Max Cool feature, however, will remain off until it is selected again.

Exterior Refrigerator Drawer

• The refrigerator drawer holds more fresh food in more ways than ever before, and is ideal for storing popular food items that need to be readily accessible. In addition the drawer’s location allows children to serve themselves from the refrigerator.
• Use the full-width drawer to store large party platters or deli trays, or use a drawer organizer to store smaller items such as yogurt, juice boxes and lunch meat within easy access.
