Using the THIRSTCRUSHER^'^ dispensing
system
The ice dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage
bin in the freezer. When you press the
dispenser bar, a trapdoor opens in a chute
between the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice
rTK)ves from the bin and falls through the
chute. When you release the dispenser bar,
a buzzing sound may be heard for a few
seconds as the trapdoor closes. The dis­
penser system will not operate when the
freezer door is open.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before
being dispensed. This may cause a slight
delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise
from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of
ice may vary in size.
When changing from CRUSHED to CUBE,
a few ounces of crushed ice will be dis­
pensed along with the first cubes.
^WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Tumbling ice and pressure can break a
fragile glass. Use a sturdy glass when
dispensing ice or water.
Failure to do so could result in personal
injury or breakage.
To dispense ice:
1. For cubed ice, move Ice Selector Switch
to CUBE position.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice
dispenser bar. Hold glass close to
dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of glass.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: The first few batches of ice may
have an off-flavor from new plumbing and
parts. Throw the ice away. Also, large
amounts of ice should be taken from the ice
bin, not through the dispenser.
