Dispenser Features

Main

Dispenser Light

A light activates within the dispenser area at full power
when dispensing ice or water with the main dispenser
pad.

Dispenser Pad

The Dispenser Pad is located on the back wall of the
dispensing area. When the dispenser pad is pressed,
the selection chosen on the dispenser control panel
will dispense.

Removable Tray

The Removable Tray at the bottom of the dispenser
area is designed to collect small spills and may be
easily removed for cleaning and emptying purposes.
Important: Removable tray does not drain. Do not
allow tray to overflow. If it does, remove tray and wipe
up overflow.

Water Dispenser Operation

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
observe the following:
• Do not put fingers, hands or any foreign object
into dispenser opening.
• Do not use sharp objects to break ice.
• Do not dispense ice directly into thin glass, fine
china or delicate crystal.
Note:
During initial use of water dispenser, there
will be a one- to two-minute delay while water tank
fills before water dispenses. Discard first 10-15
glasses of water after initially connecting refrigerator
to household water supply and after extended
periods of nonuse.
To Use Dispenser Pad:
• Choose water selection from dispenser control panel.
• Press a sturdy, wide-mouthed container against
dispenser pad. When dispensing crushed ice, hold
container as close to chute as possible to reduce
spraying.
• Release pressure on dispenser pad to stop water
dispensing. A small amount of water may continue to
dispense and collect in dispenser tray. Large spills
should be wiped dry.

Dispenser Control

Ice Dispenser Operation

To Dispense Ice and Water:
• Select Water, Crush or Cube
ice mode by pushing the
corresponding button on the
dispenser control panel. A green light above button
indicates mode selection.
• Press container against dispenser pad.
When dispensing crushed ice, hold
container as close to chute as possible to
reduce spraying.
Front Fill Button (select models)
The Front Fill Button works independently of the
dispenser controls, providing an up-front alternative to
the dispenser pad for dispensing water. This feature is
convenient for filling large items that will not fit into
the dispenser area (i.e. sport bottles, pitchers, large
pans, coffee pots). This feature allows added
convenience of dispensing ice and water
simultaneously. To use, choose ice mode from
dispenser control panel. Press container against
dispenser pad while pressing the Front Fill button.
Notes:
• Mode may not be changed while ice dispenser is
in operation.
• If dispenser is active for more than five minutes,
an automatic lock out sensor will shut down
power to dispenser area. See Dispenser Lock,
pg. 20, for unlocking information.
