Ice Dispenser Bar
The small tray beneath the dispenser is deslgned to evaporate small spills. There is no drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.
Ice Is dlspensed from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When the dispenser bar is pressed, a trapdoor opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice is moved from the bin and falls through the chute. When the dispenser bar is re- leased, a faint buzzing sound may be heard for a few seconds.
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat drawer. It holds about 50 ounces (1.5L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up press the water dispenser with a glass or jar until you have drawn and discarded 2 or 3 quarts (1.9to 2.8L).
The water you draw and discard will rinse the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill the first tankful.
NOTE: large amounts of ice should be taken from the bin, not through the dispenser.

0 Good water quality is important for good ice quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker be connected to a softened water supply. Watersoffenerchemicals such as salt from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, then it is important that the water softener be well maintained and operating properly.
