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.
• 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.

• Stop ice dispensing by releasing pressure on bar
before container is full. Some ice will continue to fall.
Do not remove container until last of ice falls.
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.

proof bags.
