The small tray beneath the dispenser is deslgned to evaporate small spills. There is not drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.

Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat drawer. It holds about 50 ounces (1.5L).

When the refrigerator is first hooked up press the water dispenser with a glass or jar until you have drawn and discarded 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8L).

The water you draw and discard will rinse the tank and pipes.

Allow several hours to chill the first tankful.

Ice is dispensed 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 is moved from the bin and falls through the chute. When the trapdoor closes, a faint buzzing sound may be heard for a few seconds.

The MIN/MED/MAX and CONT Pads control the amount of ice dispensed at one time. Select the setting that meets your family’s needs.

The CONT setting will dispense ice as long as the Ice dispenser bar is held.

NOTE: Large amounts of ice should be taken from the bin, not through the dispenser. The MAX FRZ/ICE setting can be used for maximum ice production.

To set the ice control:

1.Press the Ice Selection Pad forthe amount of ice you want. The signal light on the pad will come on briefly

2.This amount of ice will be dispensed each time the ice diSDenSer bar is Dressed. Press another Ice Select& Pad to cha’nge the setting
