Water and Ice Dispensers

(on some models)

Depending on your model, you may have one or more of the

following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed

ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a

lock option to avoid accidental dispensing.

The ice dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When

the dispenser lever is pressed:

■

A trap door 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 lever, the trap door closes

and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not

operate when the freezer door is open.

Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before

dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button

controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.

■

For cubed ice, press the CUBE button until the red indicator

appears in the window above the CUBE button.

■

For crushed ice, press the CRUSH button until the red

indicator appears in the window above the CRUSH button.

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 CRUSH to CUBE, a few ounces of crushed

ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To dispense ice:

Press button for the desired type of ice.

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.

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.

The water dispenser

If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was

first installed, press the water dispenser bar with a glass or jar

until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gallons (8 to 12 liters) or

approximately 6 to 7 minutes after water begins dispensing. It will

take 3 to 4 minutes for the water to begin dispensing. The water

you draw and discard cleans the system and helps clear air from

the lines. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down

and chill water.

IMPORTANT:

Depending on your model, the small removable

tray at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small

spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray.

The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the

sink to be emptied or cleaned.

To dispense water:

Press a glass against the water dispenser lever.

Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE:

Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh

supply.

The dispenser light

The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by

pressing the ON button at the right hand side of the control

panel. The red indicator above the ON button will appear.

some models:

Whenever you use the dispenser the lever will

automatically turn the light on.

NOTE:

See the “Changing the Light Bulbs” section for

information on changing the dispenser light bulb.

On models without crushed ice, the light switch is a rocker-style

type. Push the switch to turn the light on, and push again to turn

the light off.

The dispenser lock

(on some models)

Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to prevent

accidental dispensing by small children and pets. To turn off the

dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator will appear

above the LOCK button and the ice and water dispensers will not

work. To unlock the dispenser, press the UNLOCK button until

the indicator appears. Then continue to dispense ice or water as

usual.

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.

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.
