Using The Ice Dispenser - Whirlpool ED20ZK Use And Care Manual

l
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer
is cold enough to make ice. This can take
overnight.
l
Because of new plumbing connections, the first
ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard
the first few batches of ice.
l
If ice is not being made fast enough and more
ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control
toward a higher number. Walt a day and, if
necessary, turn the Freezer Control toward C.
l
If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm
to shut off the ice maker. When you return the
bin, push it in all the way and lower the signal
arm to the ON position.
. If cubes are stored too long, they may develop
an off-flavor . . . like stale water. Throw them
away. Ice maker will make new ice. Cubes in
the ice bin can also become smaller by
evaporation.
l
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.

Personal Injury Hazard
Tumbling ice and pressure on a fragile
glass can break it. Do not use a fragile
glass when dispensing ice.
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 ice bin, not through the dispenser.
To dispense ice:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dis-
penser bar. Hold glass close to the 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.
