Water Dispenser Operation
It takes approximately 1 minute after initially pressing
dispenser bar before water dispenses after initial
connection of water supply. Discard first 10–14 containers
of water after initially connecting refrigerator to household
water supply and after extended periods of nonuse.
Dispense water by pressing sturdy wide mouthed
container against water dispenser bar.
Note: If water dispenser is active for more than 5
minutes, an automatic lock out sensor will shut down
power to dispenser area. See
Automatic Lock Out
for
further information.
Stop water dispensing by releasing pressure on bar. A
small amount of water may continue to fall. Spill shelf
is not self-draining. Large spills should be wiped dry.
Ice Dispenser Operation
CAUTION
!
To avoid property damage, do not dispense ice directly
into thin glass, fine china, or delicate crystal.
Select cubed or crushed mode by pushing the button
on the dispenser panel. A green indicator light above
the button indicates the current selection. Dispense
ice by pressing wide-mouthed container against ice
dispenser bar. Selection mode may not be changed
while ice dispenser is in operation.
Important
Reduce spraying of crushed ice by holding wide
mouthed container directly under ice chute and as
high as possible in dispenser area.
If dispensing ice continuously, dispenser motor is
designed to shut off after 3 to 5 minutes. Motor resets
after 3 minutes and dispensing can continue.
A slight delay occurs when switching between cubed and
crushed modes. Pieces of crushed ice will vary in size
and shape. "Snow" may form on door and ice chute when
repeatedly dispensing crushed ice. Allow "snow" to
evaporate or wipe dry.
