Refrigerator - Hot Water Dispenser

In-The-Door Hot Water Dispenser:

  • Child safety mechanism for hot water feature - turn the hot water knob counter-clockwise and push the knob in to dispense the hot water.
  • The hot water dispensed will be filtered through the Advanced Filtration system, which is 3rd party certified to reduce chlorine-resistant cysts, lead, select pharmaceuticals and 15 other contaminants, including chloramines * found in tap water. Pharaceutical reduction includes:
    • Fluoxetine
    • Trimethoprim
    • Progesterone
    • Ibuprofen
    • Atenolol
  • The water dispensed is at the accurate/ideal temperature for the food or beverage selected. The 4 pre-programmed temperatures include 90° for warm, 150° cocoa, 170° tea, 185° soup or a custom temperature setting with temperatures between 90° and 185°.
    • Note: If the temperature is being measured in a cup after dispensed, the temperature is greatly impacted by the starting temperature of the cup. Cup size and temperature had a huge impact on water temperature consistency.
    • “"! Heating slowed due to fridge cooling" message on the display indicates that the time it takes to heat the hot water may be delayed because the state of the refrigerator is requiring power to be diverted to the cooling system.    Cooling is priortitized over heating the hot water.  We are limited by how many amps we can pull through a standard electrical outlet, so power has to be managed on board.  This indicator is just to let the user know the water may take longer to heat up than normal.
  • The hot and cold water tanks fill independently from each other; the hot water tank does not fill from the chilled water storage.

* Pharmaceuticals claims tested by independent laboratory. The pharmaceuticals reduced by the water filter are not necessarily in all users' water.

To use the Hot Water Dispenser:

  1. Press Hot Water button.
  2. Select desired water temperature on the LCD screen.
  3. When hot water is ready (indicated on the screen and by a beeping sound), hold container under the spout, rotate the hot water knob counter-clockwise and then push it in. The knob must be held in while dispensing. Be careful to not place hand under the water.

Hot water storage tank facts:

  • Holds approximately 22 oz. of water. Up to 10 oz of hot water is dispensed at a time.
  • The heating time can vary depending on the inlet water temperature, temperature selected, and other variables. You typically get hot, filtered water in minutes.
  • The heating mechanism is located inside the tank.
  • Tank is stainless; outside of tank is wrapped in plastic for insulation.
