About the ice and water dispenser.
(on some models)
To Use the Dispenser
Select CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE
or WATER .
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce
water spotting, the shelf and its grille should
be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the
refrigerator is first installed, there may
be air in the water line system. Press the
dispenser arm for at least two minutes to
remove trapped air from the water line
and to fill the water system. To flush out
impurities in the water line, throw away
the first six glassfuls of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge
opening.

pad for 3 seconds to lock
the dispenser and control
panel. To unlock, press
and hold the pad again

with a 6 watt 12V
maximum bulb.

To set the alarm,
press this pad until the
indicator light comes on.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not crush or
dispense well.

Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use
of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam
the chute or cause the door in the chute to
freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon.

Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.

To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.

Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though you selected CUBED ICE. This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crusher.

After crushed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip from the chute.

Sometimes a small mound of snow will
form on the door in the ice chute. This
condition is normal and usually occurs
when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually
evaporate.
