Using the ice and water dispensers The water dispenser
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat
drawer. It holds approximately 1% quarts (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the
water dispenser bar with a glass or jar until you draw
and discard 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). The water you
draw and discard rinses the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill a new tankful.
NOTE:
The small tray beneath the dispenser is
designed to evaporate
small
spills. There is no drain
in this tray.
Do not
pour water into it.
To dispense water:
1.
Press a
sturdy
glass against the water dispenser bar.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE:
Dispense enough water every week to main-
tain a fresh supply.
The ice dispenser
Personal Injury Hazard
Tumbling ice and pressure can break a fragile
glass. Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice
or water.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or breakage.
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the
freezer. When you press the dispenser bar, a trapdoor
opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice
bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the
chute. When you release the dispenser bar, 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.
To dispense ice:
1.
Press a
sturdy
glass against the ice dispenser bar.
Hold glass close to dispenser opening so ice does
not fall outside of glass.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE:
The first few batches of ice may have an off-
flavor from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice
away. Also, take large amounts of ice from the ice bin,
not through the dispenser.
