About the ice and water dispenser.

Spill Shelf

To Use the Dispenser
Select CUBED ICE
, CRUSHED ICE
or WATER (on some models).
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.
Ice Storage Drawer
on Dispenser Models
To remove:
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position. Pull the drawer straight out and
then lift past the stop position.
To replace:
When replacing the drawer, make sure to
push it firmly into place. If it does not go all
the way back, remove it and rotate the drive
mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the
drawer back again.
Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage bin. It may not crush or
dispense well.
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.
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.
To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but
not touching, the dispenser opening.
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
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.
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.
