Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. 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 bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin
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.
To Use the Dispenser

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.

Cubed
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you
selected Cubed. This happens occasionally when a few cubes
have been left in 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.
The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the
following ones. This is normal.
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add
crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
