Automatic Ice and
Water Dispenser
The
ice
and
water
dispenser
on
the
freezer
door
conveniently
dispenses
chilled
water
and
ice
cubes.
To
operate
the
dispenser,
slide
the
knob
to
the
selection
of
your
choice
and
press
a
glass
against
the
dispensing
arm,
as
shown.
Be
sure
to
hold
the
glass
as
far
up
as
possible
to
catch
all
ice.
To
stop
dispensing,
pull
glass
away
from
dispensing
arm.
When
dispensing
ice,
release
the
dispensing
arm
before
the
glass
is
full,
but
do
not
remove
the
glass
until
the
ice
has
completely
dispensed.
A
small
heated
area
beneath
the
dispenser
floor
catches
and
evaporates
small
spills.
This drip tray is removable and dishwasher safe. Do not pour water or excess
cubes into this area because there is no drain.
Light
The
dispenser
has
a
light
which
can
be
turned
on
and
off
by
sliding
the
knob
to
the
desired
position.
The
light
also
turns
on
automatically
when
ice
and/or
water
is
dispensed.
Replace
light
bulb
with
an
appliance
bulb
of
the
same
wattage.
How the Water Dispenser Works
The
water
tank
is
located
behind
the
drawers
in
the
refrigerator
compartment.
As
the
water
is
dispensed,
the
tank
is
automatically
refilled.
For
proper
operation
of
the
dispenser,
the
supply
water
pressure
must
fall
between
30
psi
and
120
psi.
After
the
refrigerator
is
installed
and
the
plumbing
connections
are
complete,
the
water tank should be filled by drawing one glass of water. It may take
about
1-1/2
minutes
after
depressing
the
dispenser
arm
before
water
works
its
way
through
the
plumbing
connections
and
begins
to
fill
this
first
glass.
Draw
and
discard
7
more
glasses
to
be
sure
that
the
tank
and
plumbing
connections
are
rinsed
of
any
impurities.
The
water
delivery
system
has
a
built
in
shut
off
device
that
will
stop
the
water
flow
after
3
minutes
of
continuous
use.
Simply
release
the
actuator
button
to
reset
the
dispensing
mechanism.
To
ensure
fresh-tasting
water,
plan
to
use
the
dispenser
every
day.
If
the
water
dispenser
has
not
been
used
for
a
week
or
more,
draw
and
discard
7-8
glasses
to
freshen
the
tank
supply.
How the Ice Dispenser Works
The
ice
maker
and
ice
storage
bin
are
located
in
the
top
left
corner
of
the
freezer
compartment.
After
the
refrigerator
is
installed
properly
and
has
cooled
for
several
hours,
the
ice
maker
can
begin
making
ice.
To
begin
ice
production,
lower
the
wire
signal
arm
to
the
"down"
or
ON
position.
As
cubes
are
made,
they
are
stored
in
the
storage
bin.
With
no
usage
it
will
take
approximately
2
days
to
fill
the
bin.
However,
the
dispenser
may
be
used
after
the
first
batch
of
ice
is
made.
The
ice
maker
turns
off
automatically
when
the
ice
storage
bin
is
full.
Because
of
new
plumbing
connections,
the
first
production
of
ice
cubes
may
be
discolored
or
have
an
odd
flavor.
These
should
be
discarded
until
the
cubes
made
are
free
of
discoloration
and
taste.
Remember that water quality
determines
your
ice
quality.
It
is
best
to
connect
the
ice
maker
to
water
that
is
not
softened.
Chemicals
from
a
malfunctioning
softener
can
damage
the
ice
maker.
If
ice
maker
is
connected
to
soft
water,
ensure
the
softener
is
maintained
and
working
properly.
To
stop
the
ice
maker,
lift
the
wire
signal
arm
until
it
clicks
and
locks
in
the
"up"
or
OFF
position.
