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 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: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the lever. 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. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.
ONDIM
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.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot 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
■To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
■To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
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.Pull the covering panel up from the bottom and then slide it back toward the rear.
2.Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.
3.Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
4.Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser will not work.
5.To restart ice production, push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position. Make sure the door is closed tightly.
Water Filtration System
(on somemodels)
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Water Filter Status Light (on some models)
The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter.
■When the water filter status display changes from “GOOD” to “ORDER,” this tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter cartridge.
