Ice Dispenser Bar
The small, heated tray beneath the dispenser is designed to evaporate small spills.
There is no drain in this tray. Do not pour water Into It.
Ice Is dispensed from the ice rrtaker storage bin
in the freezer. When the dispenser bar is pressed, a
trapdoor opens in a chute between the dispenser
and the ice bin. ice is moved from the bin and falls
through the chute. When the dispenser bar is re­
leased, a faint buzzing sound may be heard for a
few seconds.
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the
meat pan. It holds about 50 ounces (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the
water dispenser with a glass or a jar until you have
drawn and discarded 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L).
Only air will come out to start with. The water you
draw and discard will rinse the tank and pipes.
Allow about 24 hours to chill the first tankful.
