the dispenser and control panel.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm 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.

This pad turns the night light in
the dispenser on and off. The
light also comes on when the
dispenser cradle is pressed. If this

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. 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 bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin
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. This happens occasionally when a few cubes have been
left in 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.
The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the
following ones. This is normal.
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add
crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
Ice Storage Drawer on Dispenser Models
To remove:
Slide the icemaker power switch to the OFF position. Pull
the drawer straight out and then lift past the stop position.
To replace:

into place. If it does not go all the way back, remove it and

drawer back again.

About the automatic icemaker.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already equipped
with an automatic icemaker, an icemaker accessory kit
is available at extra cost. Check the back of the
refrigerator for the specific icemaker kit needed for
your model.
