Using the THIRSTCRUSHER” dispensing system

(on some models)

The ice dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When the dispenser bar is pressed, a trapdoor opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute. When the dispenser bar is released, a buzzing sound may be heard for a few seconds as the trapdoor closes. The dispenser system will not operate when the freezer door is open.

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

When changing from CRUSHED to CUBED, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

Personal Injury Hazard

Tumbling ice and pressure on a fragile glass can break it. Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so could result in personal injury or breakage.

To dispense ice:

1.For cubed ice, move Ice Selector Switch to CUBED position.

For crushed ice (on some models), move Ice Selector Switch to CRUSHED position.
