Operating

Select or

Press the glass gently against the top of the dispenser cradle.

The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce water spotting, the shelf and its grille should be cleaned regularly.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first six glassfuls of water.

CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

Consumer Support

■Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.

■Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

■Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.

■To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

■Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED. This happens occasionally when a few cubes have been left in the crusher.

■After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.

■Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

■The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the following ones. This is normal.

■Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
