The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the

and Storage Bin."
Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the ICE/
WATER button.
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
CRUSHED
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may
cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice
crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing
from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed
along with the first cubes.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first
three batches of ice produced.
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the
water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to
a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt)
can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water
softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin.
This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser
mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.
