To dispense ice:
1.Press button for the desired type of ice.
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
Chilled water comes from a container behind the meat drawer. It holds approximately 1¹⁄₂ quarts (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the water dispenser bar with a glass or jar until you draw and dis- card 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). It will take three to four minutes for the water to begin dispensing. The water you draw and discard rinses the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill a new tankful.
IMPORTANT: 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.
