Operating Instructions

To Use the Dispenser

Press the rim of the glass gently against the dispenser pad.

Select CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE (on some models) or WATER .

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

Spill Shelf

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser pad 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.

A light switch (on some models) turns the night light in the dispenser on or off. The light also comes on when the dispenser pad is pressed. The light in the dispenser should be replaced with a 7 watt maximum bulb when it burns out.

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

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

TroubleshootingTips

CustomerService

■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 or extra-tall 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.

■Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.

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

■Sometimes a 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.

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