Ice Maker
The ice and water dispenser on the freezer door conveniently dispenses chilled water,
crushed ice, and ice cubes. To operate dispenser, slide the knob to the selection of
your choice. Press a glass against the dispensing arm, as shown left. Be sure to hold
the glass up as far as possible to catch all cubes. To stop dispensing, pull glass away
from dispensing arm. When dispensing ice, release dispensing arm before glass is
full, but do not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed. To determine
the coarseness of crushed ice, select a setting on the Crushed Ice Selector, located
inside freezer on front cover of ice storage bin.
A small heated area beneath the dispenser floor catches and evaporates small spills.
Do not pour water or excess cubes into this area, because there is no drain.
How the Water Dispenser Works
The water tank is located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment. As
the water is dispensed, the tank is automatically refilled. For proper operation of the
dispenser, the supply water pressure must fall between 30 psi and 120 psi.
After refrigerator is installed, and the plumbing connections are complete, the water
tank should be filled by drawing one glass of water. It may take approximately
1-1/2 minutes after depressing dispenser arm, before water works its way through
the plumbing connections, and begins to fill this first glass. Draw and discard 7 more
glasses to be sure tank and plumbing connections are rinsed of any impurities.
To ensure fresh-tasting water, plan to use dispenser every day. If water dispenser
has not been used for a week or more, draw and discard 7-8 glasses to freshen tank
s u p p l y .
How the Ice Dispenser Works
The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the top left corner of the freezer
compartment. After refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours,
the ice maker can begin making ice. To begin ice production, lower the wire signal
arm to the "down" or ON position. As cubes are made, they are stored in the storage
bin. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the bin. However, the
dispenser may be used after the first batch of ice is made. Ice maker turns off
automatically when the ice storage bin is full.
Because of the new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be
discolored, or have an odd flavor. These should be discarded until cubes made are
free of discoloration and taste.
determines your ice quality. It is best to connect the ice maker to water that is not
softened. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If
ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure the softener is maintained and working
p r o p e r l y .
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks, and locks in the "up" or
OFF position.
Light
The dispenser has a light that can be turned on and off by sliding the knob to desired
position. The light also turns on automatically when ice and/or water is dispensed.
Replace light bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.
