To Dispense Ice:
1. Press the button to select the desired type of ice.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2.
3.
Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser pad. Hold the
glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of 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.
Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds
after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
The Dispenser Light (on some models)
When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on.
If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either
ON or NIGHT LIGHT.
ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.
NIGHT LIGHT: Press LIGHT a second time to select the Night
Light. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to become
brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure that
the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode). See
"Troubleshooting" for more information.
The Dispenser Lock (on some models)
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to
the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
ice and water dispensers. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice
Maker and Storage Bin."
• Press and hold LOCKOUT for 3 seconds to lock the
dispenser.
• Press and hold LOCKOUT a second time to unlock the
dispenser.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
Style 1:
The On/Oft switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
• To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left)
position.
• To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the
OFF (right) position.
Style 2:
The On/Oft switch is located on the ice maker, behind the ice
maker cover door.
Pol
• To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (top)
position.
• To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the
OFF (bottom) position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production when the ice
storage bin is full or the freezer door is opened, but the control will
remain in the ON position.
REMEMBER:
• 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 bin or
bucket. 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.
