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.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
