ICE AND WATER
DISPENSER
FEATURES
The ice and water dispenser conveniently
dispenses chilled
water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.
To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using
the touch pad. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle as
far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing ice, pull
glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the glass
until the ice has completely dispensed. Complete instructions
for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside of the
freezer door (some models).
Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and
carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse
with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Allow ice container to dry completely before replacing in
the freezer.
Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that
supports the ice container.
Replace the ice container. Resume ice production on
side-mounted
ice makers by lowering the wire signal
arm to the DOWN position. Resume ice production on
rear-mounted
ice makers by pressing the ice maker's
On/Off power switch to the On (I) position.

ICE DISPENSER
TIPS
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.
Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker is
on (see previous page). The ice maker will then produce
more ice.
*
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
*
If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best
to remove cubes directly from the ice container.
*
Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during
vacations.
*
If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of
time, turn the water supply valve to a closed position.
CLEANING
THE ICE DISPENSER
Clean the ice dispenser and ice container at regular intervals,
particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice
dispenser sticks.
Stop ice production on side-mounted
ice maker by
raising wire signal arm to the UP position. Stop ice
production on rear-mounted
ice makers by pressing the
ice maker's On/Off power switch to the Off (O) position.
When rem0ving or replacing the ice bin;DO
NOT rotate the auger
in the ice bin. ff the auger is accidentally rotated, you must real!g n

warm air to leak into the freezer.
An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes
ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze
together and jam the dispenser mechanism.
The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will
freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser
mechanism. Remove the ice storage bin and shake to
loosen the cubes.
