To Use the Dispenser
Select CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE
or WATER .
Press the glass gently against the top of
the dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To
reduce water spotting, the shelf and its
grille should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator
is 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
line and to fill the water system. To flush out
impurities in the water line, throw away the first
six glassfuls of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
s
Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage bin. It may not crush or
dispense well.
s
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.
s
Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage bin may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
s
To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.
Locking the Dispenser
(on some models)
Press the LOCK
CONTROL pad for
3 seconds to lock the
dispenser and control
panel. To unlock, press
and hold the pad again
for 3 seconds.
Dispenser Light
This pad turns the
night light in the
dispenser on and off.
The light also comes
on when the dispenser
cradle is pressed. If this
light burns out, it
should be replaced
with a 6 watt maximum,
12 volt DC bulb.

Mechanism
s
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED ICE. This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
have been left in the crusher.
s
After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip from the chute.
s
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.
s
The first glass of water dispensed may be
warmer than the following ones. This is
normal.
s
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For
colder water, simply add crushed ice or
cubes before dispensing water.
