The water
dispenser
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat
drawer. It holds approximately
1.5 L (1% quarts).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press
the water dispenser bar with a glass or jar until
you have drawn and discarded 1.9 or 2.8 L (2 or
3 quarts). The water you draw and discard will
rinse the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill a new tankful.
NOTE: The small tray beneath the dispenser is
designed to evaporate small spills. There is no
drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.
To dispense
water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water
dispenser bar.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
The dispenser
light
To turn on night light, slide dispenser LIGHT
switch to the left. See page 17 for directions for
changing the dispenser light bulb.

The ice maker will not operate until the freezer
is cold enough to make ice. This can take
overnight.
l
If ice is not being made fast enough and more
ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control
toward a higher number. Wait a day and, if
necessary, turn the Freezer Control toward C.
l
Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended
that the ice
maker be connected to a softened water supply.
Water softener chemicals, such as salt from a
malfunctioning
softener, can damage the ice
maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, it is
important that the water softener be well
maintained and operating properly.
