Cold water and ice dispenser
Personal Injury Hazard
Tumbling ice and pressure on a fragile glass
can break it. Do not use a fragile glass when
dispensing ice or water. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or breakage.
To dispense ice:
1.
Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser
bar. Hold glass close to dispenser opening so
ice does not fall outside of glass.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an
off taste from new plumbing and parts. Throw the
ice away.
Ice is dispensed from the ice maker 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 dis-
penser bar is released, a buzzing sound may be
heard for a few seconds as the trapdoor closes.
The dispensing system will not operate when
the freezer door is open.
NOTE: Large amounts of ice should be taken from
the bin, not through the dispenser.
To dispense water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water
dispenser bar.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat
drawer:lt holds about 1'/2 quarts (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press
the water dispenser with a glass or jar until you
have drawn and discarded 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to
2.8 L). The water you draw and discard will rinse
the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill the first tankful.
NOTE: The small tray beneath the dispenser is
designed to evaporate small spills. There is no
drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.
