ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES
The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled
water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.
To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired
using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing
paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop
dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do
not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed.
(Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are
attached to the inside of the freezer door.)
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
ICE DISPENSER TIPS
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.
Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal
arm is in its “down” or ON position. The ice maker will then
produce more ice.
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position until
the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or
whenever the water supply is turned off.
If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to
remove cubes directly from the ice container.
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is
operating:
Motor running
Ice dropping into ice container
Water valve opening or closing
Ice loosening from tray
Running water
Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during
vacations.
If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time,
turn the water supply valve to the closed position.

Your ice maker is shipped with the wire signal arm in the
ON position. To ensure proper function of your ice maker,
hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF
by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the
UP position. If the icemaker is not turned off and the water
supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud
chattering noise.

If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than 4
minutes, the dispenser motor may overload and stop.
The overload protector will reset automatically after 3
or 4 minutes.
CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER
Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals,
particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice
dispenser sticks.
1. Stop ice production by lifting the wire signal arm to the
"up" or OFF position.
2. Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and
carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse
with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Allow ice container to dry completely before replacing in
the freezer.
3. Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that
supports the ice container.
4. Replace the ice container. Lower the wire signal arm on
the ice maker to the "down" or ON position and the ice
maker will resume production.

When removing or replacing the ice bin, do not rotate the
auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally turned, you
must realign the auger by turning it in 90° turns until the ice
bin fits into place with the drive mechanism.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice
cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together
and jam the dispenser mechanism.
2. The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will
freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser
mechanism. Remove the ice storage bin and shake to
loosen the cubes.
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice
pick or similar sharp
instrument to break
up the ice. This could
damage the ice
storage bin and
dispenser
mechanism.
