NOTE: When using the dispenser with the faucet rotated, do not use the water dispenser pad. Only use the water dispenser button to dispense. Dispensing by pressing the container against the water dispenser pad may result in unintentional spilling.
■The tray can be pulled out a bit in order to better support large containers. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.
NOTE: The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned. Pull the tray out until it hits the stop, then gently lift up on the back of the tray and slide it out the rest of the way.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser pad is pressed. The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator door is open. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
Your ice maker can produce crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, press ICE on the display screen to select which type of ice you would like to dispense.
The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.
CRUSHED CUBED
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.
To Dispense Ice:
1.Select the desired type of ice.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
2.Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser pad OR place the glass below the ice dispenser and press the ice dispenser button.
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 pad or button in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3.Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the pad or releasing the button. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
