Ice and Water Dispenser

Caution
To avoid personal injury or property
damage, observe following instructions:
• Do not operate dispenser with
freezer door open.
• Do not put fingers, hands, or any foreign
object into dispenser opening.
• Do not use sharp objects to break ice.
Water Dispenser Operation
It takes approximately 1 minute after initially connecting
refrigerator to household water supply before water
dispenses. Discard first 10 to 14 containers of water
after initially connecting refrigerator to household water
supply and after extended periods of non-use.
• Dispense water by pressing sturdy wide mouthed
glass against water dispenser bar.
• Stop water dispensing by releasing pressure on bar.
A small amount of water may continue to fall. Spill
shelf is not self-draining. Large spills should be
wiped dry.
Ice Dispenser Operation
Caution
To avoid property damage, do not dispense
ice directly into thin glass, fine china, or
delicate crystal.
• Select cubed or crushed mode by sliding lever on
dispenser panel. Dispense ice by pressing wide
mouthed container against ice dispenser bar.
Important
Reduce crushed ice from spraying beyond glass
by holding glass directly under ice chute and
high as possible in dispenser area.
• Stop ice dispensing by releasing pressure on bar
before container is full. Some ice will continue to
fall. Do not remove container until last of ice falls.
If dispensing ice continuously, dispenser motor is
designed to shut off after 3 to 5 minutes. Motor resets
after 3 minutes and dispensing can continue.
A slight delay occurs when switching between cubed
and crushed modes. Pieces of crushed ice will vary in
size and shape. "Snow" may form on door and ice chute
when repeatedly dispensing crushed ice. Allow "snow" to
evaporate or wipe dry.
Dispenser operates only with cubes of proper size and
crescent shape. Do not add purchased ice cubes or
other shaped cubes to ice bucket.
Removing Ice Bucket
• Remove ice bucket by lifting bucket and pulling out.
• Replace ice bucket by sliding in until bucket locks in
place. Ice bucket must be locked in place for proper
ice dispensing. If freezer door does not close,
bucket is not in proper location.
Dispenser Light
A light is activated when dispensing ice or water. Some
models feature a night light.
• Deactivate night light by pushing switch, located
underneath dispenser and left of ice dispenser bar.
Taste and Odor
Observe the following to minimize taste and odor
difficulties:
• Wrap foods in tightly sealed containers or moisture
proof bags.
• Install water filter, part #R0183114, on water line.
• Contact local water treatment company for
specialized help if difficulties persist.
