USE OF THE ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
(ON SOME MODELS)
Your freezer dispenses both cubed and crushed ice. When
the appliance is switched on, the ice maker is activated
and set to the “Ice cube” function. Its symbol lights up
(yellow LED). For crushed ice, press the crushed ice
button until the symbol lights up. The button controls are
designed for easy use and cleaning.
To dispense ice:
1.
Press the button for the desired type of ice.
2.
Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever.
Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice
does not fall outside of the glass.
3.
You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in
order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not
make the ice dispenser operate faster or produce
greater quantities of ice.
4.
To stop dispensing, remove the glass slowly so ice does
not fall outside of the glass.
5.
Do not use a fine, fragile glass to collect ice.
NOTE:
The first few batches of ice cubes may have an off-taste;
Throw this ice away.
Ice is dispensed from the automatic ice maker bucket in
the freezer compartment. When the outside dispenser bar
is pressed, a trapdoor opens between the ice bucket and
the dispenser. When the glass is taken away from the
dispenser bar, the trapdoor closes.
The dispenser will not operate when the freezer
compartment door is open.
Large amounts of ice cubes should be taken directly from
the bucket, not through the dispenser.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being
dispensed. This may cause a slight delay in dispensing
crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and
pieces of ice may vary in size.
When changing from crushed ice to ice cubes, a small
quantity of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the
first cubes.
After starting the appliance, it generally takes overnight
before the first ice cubes are ready.
If the dispenser does not dispense ice when you press
the bar, change the ice selection from ice cubes to
crushed ice or vice versa, (see figure) so as to remove
any ice blocks.
If the dispenser still does not dispense ice, wait two
minutes and repeat this operation.
If there is condensation in the ice/water dispenser area,
press the corresponding button (marked A in the figure)
to activate the anti-condensation device.
