To Dispense Ice:
1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch between
cubed and crushed, press the DISPENSE TYPE arrows.
WARNING
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2. To dispense ice, press a sturdy glass against the dispenser pad
OR press the ICE button. Hold the glass close to the ice guide to
ensure that the ice dispenses into the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the pad
in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make
the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. To stop dispensing, remove the glass from the dispenser pad OR
release the ICE button.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after
removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue to
make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM.

The Dispenser Lock

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
controls and dispenser pad. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker
and Storage Bin."

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first
three batches of ice produced.
The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the
water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to
a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt)
can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a
softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water
softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin.
This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser
mechanism.
Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.
Style 1
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch, located on the left wall of the freezer door,
can only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed.
See the following section for bin removal instructions.
ON
OFF
To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (up) position.
To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the OFF
(down) position.
NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage
bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is made, the ice
cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the
shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. When the storage bin is
at full capacity, the ice maker will automatically stop ice production,
but the ice maker On/Off switch will remain in the ON (up) position.
