KitchenAid SIDE BY SIDE REFRIGERATOR manual To Dispense Ice, Water Dispenser, To Dispense Water

Page 14

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1.Press button for the desired type of ice.

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

2.Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. 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 lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take large amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the dispenser.

The Water Dispenser

If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was first installed, press the water dispenser bar with a sturdy glass or jar until you draw and discard 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) or approximately

3 minutes of water after water begins dispensing. It will take

3 to 4 minutes for the water to begin dispensing. The water you draw and discard cleans the system and helps clear air from the lines. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable tray at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned.

To Dispense Water:

1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.

2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

The Dispenser Light

Style 1

The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by pressing the ON button (touch pad or rocker switch).

On some models: Whenever you use the dispenser the lever will automatically turn the light on.

LIGHT

OFF ON

NOTE: See “Changing the Light Bulbs” for information on changing the dispenser light bulb.

Style 2

When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or AUTO.

ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn the dispenser light on.

AUTO: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select the AUTO mode. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.

OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn the dispenser light off.

The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, check to be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in AUTO mode). See “Troubleshooting” for more information.

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser levers.
