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.

To select ice cubes, crushed ice or chilled water, slide the control to the appropriate setting.

CUBE CRUSH WATER

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 pre- vent 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 to bleed the air from the water line. Discard the first five to six glasses of water dispensed. This will insure pure and fresh water for drinking.

Dispenser Light

Your dispenser may have a light switch located on the right side of the dispenser. Depress the switch to turn the light on or off.

Lock Switch

Your dispenser may be furnished with a lock switch on the right side of the dispenser. This push button switch will turn your ice and water dispensers on or off.

Spill Tray

Do not pour water into the Spill Tray grille at the bottom of the dispenser area. This is a spill area, NOT a drain. Normal, small spills will evaporate. Larger spills should be wiped up with a soft cloth or sponge. The grille slides out for clean up. Replace the grille by slid- ing it into the track and pressing on the locking tabs. It is recommended to clean the spill area occasionally to prevent mineral deposits.

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.

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 pro- duced by your ice maker, 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 deli- cate crystal. The pressure of pressing against the actuator pad and the ice dropping into the container can cause cracking or chipping of delicate items.
