GE Appliances GFE28GYNFS how to use Hands-Free AutoFill
To fill a container with filtered water without holding the dispenser paddle, on models with an autofill pad.
Steps
- Center the container on the recess dispenser tray as far back as possible without activating the paddle, then remove your hand from the container.
- Press autofill.
- To stop filling early, press autofill again.
AutoFill times out. Use a uniform container 4 to 8 in (10 to 20 cm) tall and 2 to 6 in (5 to 15 cm) wide for the best results; fill level can vary outside those sizes. Ice in the container, handles, straws and garnishes on the rim change the fill volume. Keep the sensors clean with a damp cloth, without spraying liquid or cleaners on them.
