For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being
dispensed. This rnay cause a slight delay when
dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher
is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.
When changing from CRUSHED to CUBE, a
few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along
with the first cubes.
To dispense
water:
I. 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.
Chilled water comes from a tank behind the meat
drawer. It holds about 1% quarts (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press
the water dispenser with a glass or jar until you
have drawn and &carded 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 the first tankful.
NOTE: The smal’ tray beneath the dispenser is
designed to evaplorate
small
spills. There is no
drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.

Automatic ice maker
Here are a few things you will want to know about
your automatic ice maker.
l
The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.
Down.. .for making ice automatically.
Up.. .to shut off the ice maker.
NOTE: Do not turn ice maker on until it is con-
nected to the water supply. Instructions for
ice maker water supply hook-up are
attached to the back of the refrigerator
cabinet.
l
It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a
corner. They will break apart easily.
l
The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is
cold enough to make ice. This can take
overnight.
l
If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice
is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a
higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn
the Freezer Control toward C.
l
Good water quality is important for good ice
quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker
be connected to a softened water supply. Water
softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunc-
tioning softener can damage the ice maker mold
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water
supply cannot be avoided, then it is important
that the water softener be well maintained and
operating properly.
