& ICE DISPENSER
How Automatic
Icemaker
and Ice Dispenser
Work
Your refrigerator
has an automatic
icemaker and a dispenser
that
dispenses
ice cubes and crushed ice
through the freezer compartment
door. Here's how they work.
When the selector
switch
is set at
ICE CUBES...
(1) Automatic
icemaker
fills the
(2) ice storage bin.
(3) Pressure
on ice cradle activates
(4) motor-powered
augerandfceds
cubes into glass through the
(5) chine,
When the selector
switch
is
moved
to CRUSHED
ICE, a
baffle in the housing
channels
cubes through the
(6) crusher and crushed ice falls
into the glass through the chute.
Spills are caught in a
(7) recessed area.
Water is supplied
automatically
to
the icemaker
by a solenoid valve.
A connection
to the household
cold water system is all that's
needed.
CAUTION:
Never put fingers or
ally other objects into the ice
ClUsher discharge
opening.
Important
Facts about Your Dispenser
• Your icemaker
will produce
an average
of eight
cubes per cycle
approximately
t 20 cubes in a
24-hour
period-dependin
on freezer
compartment
temperature,
room temperature,
number
of door
openings
and other use conditions.
•Intermittent
dispensing
of ice is normal.
If ice
flow interruption
is more than brief, ice clumps may
be the cause and should be removed.
• Avoid overfilling
glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall
glasses.
Backed-up
ice can jam
the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze
shut. Periodically
open the freezer compartment
door
and look down into the chute. If ice is blocking
the
chute, poke it through with a wooden
spoon.
•To help keep bits of ice from being sprayed
beyond
the glass, place glass close to ice chute--
but not so close that it blocks outcoming
ice.
• Ice should not be dispensed
into thin glasses,
fine
china or delicate
custal
they can crack or chip
from the combined
pressure of your hand pressing
them against the cradle and ice dropping
into them.
• Ice should be dispensed
before
filling glass with
beverage.
This will prevent splashing,
which is
annoying
and which, if the splash reaches the ice
selector switch, could cause it to stick or bind.
•Beverages
and foods should not be quick-chilled
in
the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in
tile storage bin may cause tile icemaker to malfunction.
•Ice other
than
that produced
by your
icemaker
should not be added to the ice storage bin
it may
not Cl-Ushor dispense well.
