Ice dispensing
system
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.
Doing so could result in personal
injury
or breakage.
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 dispenser 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. The small
tray beneath the dispenser is designed to catch
small chips of ice. There is no drain in this tray.
Do not leave large amounts of melting ice in it or
pour water into it.
To dispense
ice:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser
bar. Hold the 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 and make a new supply.
Automatic
ice maker
Here are a few things you will want to know about
your automatic ice maker:
. The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down
to make ice automatically.
Up
to shut off the ice maker.
NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is
connected to the water supply.
l
It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They will break apart easily.
l
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer
is cold enough to make ice. This can take
overnight.
. Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended
that the ice
maker be connected to a softened water supply.
Water softener chemicals, such as salt from a
malfunctioning
softener, can damage the ice
maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, it is
important that the water softener be well
maintained and operating properly.
