Ice Maker and Storage Bin

Refrigerator Operation

Water and Ice Dispensers

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 key

controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.

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.

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 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 sturdy glass or jar until you draw and discard 6 qt (5.7 L) or approximately 3 to 4 minutes of water after water

begins dispensing. It will take 2 to 3 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.

To Dispense Water:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the dispenser periodically. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

Dispenser Light

The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by pressing the ON key (touch pad or rocker switch).

Whenever you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the light on also.

NOTE: See page 13 for information on changing the dispenser light bulb.

Dispenser Lock

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 levers.

To turn off the dispenser, press the LOCK key. The indicator will appear above the LOCK key and the ice and water dispensers will not work.

To unlock the dispenser, press the UNLOCK key until the indicator appears. Then continue to dispense ice or water as usual.

Non-Dispensing Models

To Turn the Ice Maker On or Off:

The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located on the side of the ice maker.

1.To turn the ice maker on, lift the ice maker cover, then lower the wire shutoff arm.

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.

2.To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to the off (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.
