Built-In Use & Care
Ice and Water Dispenser
DISPENSER INITIAL USE
After the initial ice maker start-up for all dispenser models,
discard the first few batches of ice, the ice may contain
impurities from the new plumbing connections.
The first time you use the water dispenser for all dispenser
models, purge the water system and storage tank for three
minutes. This will clear any air in the system, along with
impurities from the new plumbing connections.
Initially, for water to dispense properly, the WATER key
pad must be pressed and held until water flows from the
dispenser. You may have to hold the key pad for 60
seconds for water to fill the internal reservoir tank.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The chilled water reservoir tank is
mounted inside the refrigerator section. It will take several
hours to chill the water to refrigerator temperature during
the original fill or after a lot of water is used.
ICE DISPENSER OPERATING TIPS
• If there is no ice, make sure the ice maker system is
turned on and indicator is illuminated in the control
panel display.
• Make sure that the water filter cartridge is in place or
that the water filtration system is in bypass mode by
removing the filter.
• Make sure there is a supply of ice in the ice container.
Refer to ice container removal on page 17.
• Make sure the ice container is all the way in and
engaging the auger motor at the back of the container.
If it is not all the way back, push on the ice container
and press the ICE key pad on the glasswell at the
same time.
• Press the ICE key pad. If you do not hear auger motor
noise, wait five minutes, then try again. If you do
not hear auger noise after the second try, contact
Sub-Zero factory certified service.
• If the ice dispenser is not used for a long period, the
ice may fuse together. To avoid this, empty the ice
container as needed.
Use a sturdy glass to catch ice. Fragile glasses can
break. Also, for external dispenser models, make sure
the glass is sitting vertically on the water grille to avoid
breakage. For internal dispenser models, make sure
the glass is securely pressed against the glass tab to
avoid breakage.
