AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
(SELECT MODELS)
Notes:
When using the ice dispenser for the
first time, discard the first two or
three dozen cubes.
•When using the water dispenser for
the first time, press the actuator pad
for ten minutes to bleed the air from
the water line. Discard the first five
to six glasses of water dispensed.
This will ensure pure and fresh
water for drinking.
DISPENSING WATER
AND
ICE
To dispense ice or water, position a glass
against the top portion of the actuator
pad and press. Hold the glass up to the ice
opening to avoid spills.
To stop dispensing, release the pressure
on the actuator pad and hold the con-
tainer in position momentarily to catch
the last pieces of ice or the last drops of
water. The ice delivery door will remain
open for a short time. When it closes, a
closing sound can be heard.
DISPENSER LIGHT
When the actuator pad is touched, the
dispenser light automatically illuminates.
To manually turn the light on, touch the
pad.
To turn the light off, touch the pad again.
DISPENSER
LOCK
To interrupt power to the water and ice
dispenser so it cannot be used, touch the
pad 3 times within 10 seconds.
The lock pad is illuminated when the dis-
penser is locked. Touch the pad 3 times
within 10 seconds again to unlock the ice
and water service.
SPILL TRAY
DO NOT pour water into the Spill Tray
grille at the bottom of the dispenser area.
This is a spill area, NOT a drain. Normal,
small spills will evaporate. Larger spills
should be wiped up with a soft cloth or
sponge. The grille slides out for clean up.
It is recommended to clean the spill area
occasionally to prevent mineral deposits.
ICE AND WATER
DISPENSING TIPS
Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though cubed ice was selected.
This happens occasionally when a
few cubes are accidentally channeled
into the crusher.
Likewise, when changing from
crushed ice to cubes, some crushed
ice may be dispensed. This may also
happen if irregular-sized cubes or ice
chips are in the storage bin.
If the “crushed” option is used fre-
quently or exclusively, select the
“cube” option occasionally to clear
any crushed ice that may have built
up in the chute.
•A slight pause may be noticed when
dispensing crushed ice.This is normal
because the ice is being channeled to
the crusher. Crushed ice pieces will
vary in size and shape.
If the ice dispenser is not used fre-
quently, ice cubes may clump
together and may need to be broken
apart or discarded.
Do not add ice to the storage bin
which was not produced by the ice-
maker. It may not crush and/or dis-
pense properly.
•Avoid operating the ice dispenser
continuously for more than five min-
utes. Remove large quantities from
the bin by hand.
•Water from the dispenser is not as
cold as ice water.The first glass or two
of water dispensed each time may be
warmer than subsequent glasses.
•To avoid splashing, fill the glass with
ice before adding water.
CRUSH,CUBE,
WATER PADS
The control pads are located on the dis-
penser control panel.To select the desired
function, touch the appropriate pad.
When ice cubes, crushed ice or
water pads are touched the selection is
illuminated.
To avoid personal injury or prop-
erty damage, observe the fol-
lowing:
Do not put fingers, hands or any
foreign object into dispenser
opening.
•Do not use sharp objects to
break ice.
Do not dispense ice directly into
thin glass, fine china or delicate
crystal.
