The water dispenser
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the
meat drawer. It holds approximately 1.5 L
{V/z quarts).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up,
press the water dispenser bar with a glass or
jar until you draw and discard 1.9 to 2.8 L
(2 or 3 quarts). The water you draw and
discard rinses 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

switch to the left. See page 19 for directions for
