An automatic icemaker and a dispenser provide chilled water, ice cubes and crushed ice through the freezer compartment door.

Here'show they work:

o To help keep bits of ice from being sprayed beyond the glass, place glass close to ice chute--but not so close that it blocks outcoming ice_

o Do not dispense ice into thin glasses, fine china or delicate crystal--they can crack or chip from combined pressure of hand pressing them against cradle and ice dropping into container°

e Dispense ice before filling glass with soda or other beverage mixes. This will prevent splashing

which is annoying and which, if the splash reaches the ice selector switch, could cause it to stick or bind°

Important Facts about Your"Dispenser

o Your icemaker will produce eight cubes

per cyclemapproximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour

period--depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other' use conditions.

o Intermittent dispensing of ice is normal. If ice flow interruption is more than brief, ice clump(s) may be the cause and should be removed following instructions on page 11_

o Avoid overfilling glasses with ice and using

narrow or extra.tall glasses. This can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut_ Periodically open the freezer compartment door and look down into the chute. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon,

When water supply has been connected to

icemaker, move feeler arm to ON (down) position.

Depress water dispenser cradle for about two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill water reservoir automatically.

The ice cube mold will automatically fill with water after cooling to freezing temperature, and first cubes normally freeze after several hours°

When cubes are solidly frozen, they will be ejected from the mold into the ice storage bin by means of a sweeper arm° lcemaking will continue until the feeler arm senses that there are enough cubes in the bin and halts the operation temporarily. Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm.

For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with your hand occasionally
