USE OF THE ICE AND WATER DISPENSER (ON SOME MODELS)

Your freezer dispenses both cubed and crushed ice. When the appliance is switched on, the ice maker is activated and set to the “Ice cube” function. Its symbol lights up (yellow LED). For crushed ice, press the crushed ice button until the symbol lights up. The button controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.

To dispense ice:

1.Press the button for the desired type of ice.

2.Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

3.You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispenser operate faster or produce greater quantities of ice.

4.To stop dispensing, remove the glass slowly so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

5.Do not use a fine, fragile glass to collect ice.

NOTE:

The first few batches of ice cubes may have an off-taste; Throw this ice away.

Ice is dispensed from the automatic ice maker bucket in the freezer compartment. When the outside dispenser bar is pressed, a trapdoor opens between the ice bucket and the dispenser. When the glass is taken away from the dispenser bar, the trapdoor closes.

The dispenser will not operate when the freezer compartment door is open.

Large amounts of ice cubes should be taken directly from the bucket, not through the dispenser.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay in dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.

When changing from crushed ice to ice cubes, a small quantity of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

After starting the appliance, it generally takes overnight before the first ice cubes are ready.

•If the dispenser does not dispense ice when you press the bar, change the ice selection from ice cubes to crushed ice or vice versa, (see figure) so as to remove any ice blocks.

•If the dispenser still does not dispense ice, wait two minutes and repeat this operation.

•If there is condensation in the ice/water dispenser area, press the corresponding button (marked A in the figure) to activate the anti-condensation device.
