The Water Dispenser
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable tray
at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small spills and
allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. The tray can
be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be
emptied or cleaned.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the
dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When
the dispenser lever is pressed:
A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice
bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.
When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes and
the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not operate
when the freezer door is open.
Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button
controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.
CRUSH
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are 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.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Press button for the desired type of ice.

WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside
of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will
not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor from
new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take large
amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the dispenser.
The Dispenser Light
The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by
pressing the ON button (touchpad or rocker switch).
On some models: Whenever you use the dispenser, the lever will
automatically turn the light on.
OFF
NOTE: See "Changing the Light Bulbs" for information on changing
the dispenser light bulb.
The Dispenser Lock (on some models)
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
dispenser levers.
To turn off the dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator will
appear above the LOCK button and the ice and water dispensers
will not work. To unlock the dispenser, press the UNLOCK button
until the indicator appears. Then continue to dispense ice or water
as usual.
