Ice & Chilled Water Dispemer

Automatic Icemaker and Ice & Water Dispenser

Your refrigerator has an automatic icemaker and a dispenser that dispenses chilled water and ice cubes through the freezer compartment door. Here’s how they work.

Water flows from the household supply through a

(1)dual solenoid valve to the

(2)water reservoir and to the

(3)automatic icemaker as needed.

Water is frozen in the

(4)cube mold and ejected into the

(5)storage bin where a motor- powered auger moves cubes forward into the dispensing unit.

When the ICE CUBES cradle is pressed, cubes dispense through the chute in the door.

When the CHILLED WATER cradle is pressed, chilled water from the reservoir flows through the

(6)tubing in the door and is dispensed.

(7)A light switch turns the night light in the dispenser on or off.

Importint Facfi about Your Ice &Water Dispenser

●Your icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle—approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour period— depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

●Intermittent dispensing of ice is normal. If ice flow interruption is more than brief, ice clump(s) may be the cause and should be removed following instructions below and on page 12.

Q Avoid overfilling glasses with ice and using narrow or extra-tall glasses. This can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. Periodically open the freezer compartment door and look down into the chute. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

. To help keep bits of ice from being sprayed beyond the giass, place glass close to ice chute— but not so close that it blocks outcoming ice.

. Ice should not be dispensed into thin glasses, fine china or delicate crystal-they can crack or chip from the combined pressure of your hand pressing them against the cradle and ice dropping into the container.

●Ice should be dispensed before filling glass with soda or other beverage mixes. This will prevent splashing which is annoying and which, if the splash reaches the ice and water selector switch, could cause it to stick or bind.

. 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 to malfunction.

. Ice other than that produced by your icemaker should not be added to the ice storage bin—itmay not dispense well.

Before Using Your Icemaker and Dispenser

If you use your refrigerator before the water connection is made, raise the ice access door and make sure the icemaker feeler arm is in the OFF (up) position as shown below.

When water supply has been connected to icemaker, move feeler arm to ON (down) position.

Depress water dispenser cradle for about two minutes to remove trapped air from water I ine and to fill water reservoir automatically.

Ice cube mold automatically fills with water after cooling to freezing temperatures. First cubes normally freeze after several hours.

NOrE: With a newly-installed refrigerator, allow about 24 hours for the freezer compartment to cool down to the proper icemaking temperature.
