Whirlpool W10162458A, W10162459A Ice Maker and Storage Bin, To Dispense Ice

Page 9

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being 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 the 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 pad OR place the glass below the ice dispenser and press the ice dispenser button.

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 pad or button in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3.Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the pad or releasing the button. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Light (on some models)

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM or AUTO. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.

ON

DIM

AUTO

OFF

ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.

DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. The dispenser light will remain on, but at a lower intensity.

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

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

The dispenser lights are LEDs that can not be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, 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 refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser controls and levers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

■Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser. The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the freezer compartment.

To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) position.

To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF (right) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) position.

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.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

1.Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.

NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the OFF (right) position when removing the storage bin. The sensor cover (“flipper door”) on the left wall of the freezer stops the ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage bin is removed.

2.Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make sure it is securely in place.
