Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not crush or dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use
of narrow glasses.Backed-up ice canjam 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.
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice
storage drawer. Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the icemoker or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass,put the glass
close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though you selected CUBEDICE.This happens
occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to
the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed,some water may drip from
the chute.
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.
