Automatic Ice and

Water Dispenser

Dispenser Selector

The ice and water dispenser on the freezer door conveniently dispenses chilled water and ice cubes. To operate the dispenser, slide the knob to the selection of your choice and press a glass against the dispensing arm, as shown. Be sure to hold the glass as far up as possible to catch all cubes. To stop dispensing, pull glass away from dispensing arm. Release dispensing arm before the glass is full, but do not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed.

A small heated area beneath the dispenser floor catches and evaporates small spills. Do not pour water or excess cubes into this area because there is no drain.

Light

The dispenser has a light that can be turned on and off by sliding the knob to the desired position. The light also turns on automatically when ice and/or water is dispensed. Replace light bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.

How the Water Dispenser Works

The water tank is located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment. As the water is dispensed, the tank is automatically refilled. For proper operation of the dispenser, the supply water pressure must fall between 30 psi and 120 psi.

Press glass against dispensing arm.

Wire

Signal Arm

Ice Maker

After the refrigerator is installed and the plumbing connections are complete, the water tank should be filled by drawing one glass of water.This will take about 1- 1/2 minutes. Then, draw and discard 7 more glasses to be sure that the tank and plumbing connections are rinsed of any impurities.

To ensure fresh-tasting water, plan to use the dispenser every day. If the water dispenser has not been used for a week or more, draw and discard 7-8 glasses to freshen the tank supply.

How the Ice Dispenser Works

The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the top left corner of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin making ice. To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the "down" or ON position. As cubes are made, they are stored in the storage bin. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the bin. However, the dispenser may be used after the first batch of ice is made. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice storage bin is full.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. These should be discarded until the cubes made

are free of discoloration and taste. Remember, water quality determines your ice quality. It is best to connect the ice maker to water that is not softened. Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the "up" or OFF position.
