The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to

maintain a fresh supply.

To Dispense Water:

1. Press ICE SELECTION on the control panel until the Water

icon appears on the display screen.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser pad.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

IMPORTANT: Limit water dispensing time to a maximum of

2 minutes at a time.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when

the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice

Maker and Storage Bin."

Your ice maker can produce both crushed (on some models) and

cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you

prefer by pressing the ICE SELECTION button.

The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

CRUSHED

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. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch

between cubed and crushed, press ICE SELECTION.

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 dispenser pad. 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 in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will

not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after

removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue

to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

IMPORTANT: Limit ice dispensing time to a maximum of

2 minutes at a time.

CUBED

The Dispenser Light

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on.

When you stop using the dispenser, the light will automatically

fade to a lower intensity.

NOTE: The dispenser light will turn off when Vacation Mode is

active or when the Control Lock is turned on. See "Using the

Controls" for more information.

The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it

appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see

"Troubleshooting" for more information.

The Dispenser Lock

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid

unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

See "The Control Lock" in the "Using the Controls" section.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

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.

Style 1

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:

The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin

has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on

the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin. See the

following section for bin removal instructions.

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: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the

storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. The ice

maker sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the

control will remain in the ON (left) position.
