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 unintentional dispensing.
The Water Dispenser
If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was first installed, do so now. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for
5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
Allow 24 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.

1.Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2.Remove the glass to stop 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.

CRUSH CUBE
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are 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.If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
2.Press button for the desired type of ice.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cute.
3.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.
4.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an
