Ice Dispenser

Overload, if you hold the dispenser bar in the ON position for approximately 4-5 minutes, the dispenser motor may trip out on overload This could occur if you

were trying to fill a large container with ice, The overload will reset automatica!ly

in approximately 3 minutes, after which ice can again be dispensed.

IMPORTANT! UNDER NO CIRCUM- STANCE SHOULD YOU USE AN ICE PICK OR SIMILAR SHARP INSTRU- MENT TO BREAK THE ICE To do this could cause damage to the ice bin and/or ice auger.

How the Ice Dispenser Works

To operate apply pressure against the dispenser bar with a glass or other con- tainer. This activates the ice auger and ice wheel which automatically delivers ice to the glass.

;lease pressure on the dispenser _r before glass is full. Do not

remove the glass until the last of the cubes fail.

Normal Operation. Allow 4 to 12 hours after installation for the first ice harvest

The time required will depend on the freezer temperature and the amount of food in the unit

The ice storage bin takes about three or four days to fill, depending on how often you use iL At first, your family will be using it quite frequently

To help meet this demand, you can speed ice production by turning the freezer control to a colder setting.

For best overall operation of the unit, be sure to return the freezer

control to its previous position as soon as possibler

I1you use very littteice over a period of a week or so -- or if you use none at all for that period -- the ice cubes may freeze into a solid mass and the unit wilt not dispense ice. You must then remove ',e ice bin (follow instructions on next

lge), thaw the ice and throw it away.

Safety. All the ice making and dispens- ing mechanisms are enclosed within their own compartment for safety and

for maximum storage space in the freezer section.

Whenever the freezer door is opened, the ice dispenser mechanism is inter- rupted. This prevents the dispensing of ice and also insures that you can serv- ice the ice bucket safely

Water is automatically measured into the ice maker. When the water freezes, a sensor initiates the ejector blades that dump the cubes into the U-shaped harm vester bin, where they are held in stor- age for delivery When you push the Dispenser Bar, a large auger gently, but

firmly, moves cubes from the bin, See Figure 17.
