Dispensing Water
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 the “Water Supply
Requirements” and “Troubleshooting” sections for
suggestions.
