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 quick-chilled 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.

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

impurities in the water line, throw away the first
six glassfuls of water.

Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though you selected 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 usually occurs
when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow
will eventually evaporate.

the dispenser on and off. The
