About the ice and water dispenser.

Spill Shelf
To Use the Dispenser
Select CUBED ICE, CRUSHED ICE or WATER.
Press the glass gently against the top of the dispenser
cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce water spot-
ting, the shelf and its grille should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system.
Press the dispenser arm for at least two minutes to
remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system. To flush out impurities in the water
line, throw away the first six glassfuls of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other objects
into the ice crusher discharge opening.

Locking the Dispenser

Press the LOCK pad for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser
and control panel. To unlock, press and hold the pad
again for 3 seconds.

Dispenser Light

The LIGHT pad turns the night light in the dispenser on
and off. The light also comes on when the dispenser
cradle is pressed. On some models, if this light burns
out, it should be replaced with a 6 watt 12 V maximum
bulb.
Precise Fill (on some models)
This water dispenser is equipped with a feature called
"precise fill." This feature allows you to choose a pre-
cise amount of water (cups or ounces) that you would
like dispensed. Pints and Liters are also available for
LCD models.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage drawer.
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 quickchilled in the
ice storage drawer. Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer 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.
(On some models)

door is open for more than 3 minutes. The light goes out
and the beeping stops when you close the door. For LCD

If you selected OUNCES, press the arrow pads on
either side of the display to select the number of
ounces you would like to have dispensed between
1–99 ounces.
If you selected CUPS, press the arrow pads on the
left of the display to select the whole cups (1–16
cups) and/or the arrow pads on the right side of the
display to select fractions of a cup (1/4–3/4 cups).
Press the cup against the cradle and water will be-
gin dispensing. It will automatically stop when the
amount set has been dispensed. The display will
show there is no water left to dispense, then reset.
NOTE: Do not leave the dispenser unattended
when water is being dispensed.
If you would like to stop dispensing water before
the specified amount has been dispensed, just re-
move the cup from the cradle. The display will
show the amount left to dispense.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you se-
lected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when a
few cubes accidentally get directed to 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 usu-
ally occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeat-
edly. The snow will eventually evaporate.
