Dispensing Water and Ice

To dispense ice or water, position a glass against the top portion of the actuator pad and press. Hold the glass high in the dispenser opening to avoid spills.

To stop dispensing, release the pressure on the actuator pad and hold the container in position momentarily to catch the last pieces of ice or the last drops of water. The ice delivery door will remain open for a short time. When it closes, a closing sound can be heard.

The control key pads are located on the dispenser control panel. To select the desired function, press the appropriate pad. When ice cubes, crushed ice or water are selected, a light above the selection glows.

Water from the dispenser is not as cold as ice water. For colder water, simply add ice before dispensing the water. The first glass or two of water dispensed each time may be warmer than subsequent glasses. A full glass of water will be cooler than a partial glass. To prevent splashing, fill the glass with ice before adding water.

Note: When using the ice dispenser for the first time, discard the first two or three dozen cubes. When using the water dispenser for the first time, press the actuator pad for one to two minutes (or ten minutes if the model has a water filter) to bleed the air from the water line. Discard the first five to six glasses of water dispensed. This will ensure pure and fresh water for drinking.

Ice Dispensing Tips

•Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though cubed ice was selected. This happens occasionally when a few cubes are accidentally channeled into the crusher.

•Likewise, when changing from crushed ice to cubes, some crushed ice may be dispensed. This may also happen if irregular-sized cubes or ice chips are in the storage bin.

•If the ice dispenser is not used frequently, ice cubes may clump together and may need to be broken apart or discarded.

•If the “crushed” option is used frequently or exclusively, select “cube” option occasionally to clear the chute from any crushed ice that may have built up.

•A slight pause may be noticed when dispensing crushed ice. This is normal because the ice is being channeled to the crusher. Crushed ice pieces will vary in size and shape.

•Do not add ice to the storage bin which was not produced by your ice maker, as it may not crush and/or dispense properly.

•Avoid operating the ice dispenser continuously for more than five minutes. Remove large quantities from the bin by hand.

•Avoid dispensing ice directly into fine china or delicate crystal. The pressure of pressing against the actuator pad and the ice dropping into the container can cause cracking or chipping of delicate items.
