Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a lock option to avoid accidental dispensing.

The ice dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When the dispenser lever is pressed:

•A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.

•When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.

Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.

•For cubed ice, press the CUBE button until the red indicator appears in the window above the CUBE button.

•For crushed ice, press the CRUSH button until the red indicator appears in the window above the CRUSH button.

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 CRUSH to CUBE, 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.

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 glass or jar until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or approximately 6 to 7 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.

J

To dispense water:

1.Press a glass against the water dispenser lever.

2.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

The dispenser light

The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by

pressing the QN button at the right-hand side of the control panel. The red indicator above the QN button will appear.

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

LIGHT

OFF ON

NOTE: See the "Changing the Light Bulbs" section for information on changing the dispenser light bulb.

On models without crushed ice, the light switch is a rocker-style type. Push the switch to turn the light on, and push again to turn the light off.
