To Dispense Ice:
1.Press the CUBED or CRUSHED button to select 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.
The Dispenser Light (on some models)
■Press the ON button to turn on the dispenser light.
■Press the OFF button to turn off the dispenser light.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
■To turn on the ice maker, lift open the translucent ice maker door and lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON position.
■To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
REMEMBER:
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
■The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
■Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.
■Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.
On some models, the dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be changed. See “Troubleshooting” for more information.
The Dispenser Lock (on some models)
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser lever. The ice and water dispensers will not work.
■Press the ON button to lock the dispenser.
■Press the OFF button to unlock the dispenser.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
1.Lift and hold open the translucent ice maker door.
2.Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position. Release the ice maker door.
3.Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
4.Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way, or the dispenser will not work.
5.To restart ice production, lift open the ice maker door and push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position.
