Using the ice and water dispensers
Personal Injury Hazard
Tumbling ice and pressure on a fragile
glass can break it. Do not use a fragile
glass when dispensing ice or water.
Doing so could result in personal injury or
breakage.
The ice dispenser
Ice is dispensed from the ice maker storage bin
in the freezer. When the dispenser bar is
pressed, a trapdoor opens in a chute between
the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice is moved from
the bin and falls through the chute. When the
dispenser bar is released, a buzzing sound may
be heard for a few seconds as the trapdoor
closes. The dispenser system will not operate
when the freezer door is open.
To dispense ice:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dis-
penser bar. Hold glass close to dispenser
opening so ice does not fall outside of glass.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an
off-flavor from new plumbing and parts. Throw
the ice away. Also, large amounts of ice should
be taken from the ice bin, not through the
dispenser.
The water dispenser
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat
drawer. It holds approximately 1% quarts (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press
the water dispenser bar with a glass or jar until
you have drawn and discarded 2 or 3 quarts (1.9
to 2.8 L). The water you draw and discard will
rinse the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill a new tankful.
NOTE: The small tray beneath the dispenser is
designed to evaporate small spills. There is no
drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.
To dispense water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water
dispenser bar.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
