CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi
and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts
off the water flow after three (3) minutes of continuous
use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bale
arm that automatically stops ice production when the
ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will result in existing ice
melting in the bin.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice
dispenser. You will still be able to dispense water.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small disc-shaped ice may be
noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could
occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start
seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication
of low water pressure or the water filter needs to
