as far up as possible to catch ai! ice. To stop dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the
glass until the ice has completely dispensed. (Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside
of the freezer door.)
How the Water Dispenser Works
The water tank, located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For
proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi.
CAUTION Water pressure must not exceed 100 lbs. Excessive pressure
After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about
1 V 2 minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system
for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any impurities. The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device
that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff
mechanism.

How the Ice Dispenser Works
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the
refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin
making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two
or three times before making a full tray of ice. To begin ice production, lower the wire signal
arm to the "down" or ON position. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the
ice container. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container becomes full. To
stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks, and locks in the "up" or OFF ,
position.

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 cub<ss made are free of discoloration |
and taste.
