To Use the Dispenser
Select CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE
or WATER .
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser pad/cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce
water spotting, the shelf and its grille should
be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system.
Press the dispenser pad/cradle for at least two minutes
to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system. To flush out impurities in the water line,
throw away the first six glassfuls of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.

12V maximum bulb.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not crush or
dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the
chute or cause the door in the chute to
freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED ICE. This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip from the chute.
Sometimes a small mound of snow will form
on the door in the ice chute. This condition
is normal and usually occurs when you have
dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow
will eventually evaporate.
CAUTION: Some products such as water ices
should not be consumed too cold.
