To Dispense Ice:

1.If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

2.Press the button to select the desired type of ice.

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

3.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.

IMPORTANT: 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 dispense faster or in greater quantities.

4.Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Dispenser Light

Style 1: The dispenser light can be turned on by pressing the ON button.

Style 2: When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or NIGHT LIGHT.

ON: Press the LIGHT button to turn on the dispenser light.

NIGHT LIGHT: Press the LIGHT button a second time to select the Night Light. The dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.

OFF: Press the LIGHT button a third time to turn off the dispenser light.

The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure that the light sensor is not blocked (in Night Light mode). See “Troubleshooting” for more information.

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser levers. The ice and water dispensers will not work.

Style 1: Press the LOCK button to lock the dispenser. Press the UNLOCK button to unlock the dispenser.

Style 2: Press and hold the LOCK OUT button to lock the dispenser. Press and hold the LOCK OUT button a second time to unlock the dispenser.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

Style 1

To turn ON the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Style 2

The On/Off switch is located on the top right-hand side of the freezer compartment.

To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) position.

To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF (right) position.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the ON (left) position.

REMEMBER:

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

■The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.

■Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism.

■Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.

Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin

Style 1

1.Pull the covering panel up from the bottom and then slide it back toward the rear.

2.Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.

3.Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

4.Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way or the dispenser will not work. Push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position to restart ice production. Make sure the door is closed tightly.
