Important Facts About Your Dispenser

„Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice maker bucket. It may not crush or dispense.

„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 remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

„Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the ice maker 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 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 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.
