the ice dispenser bar. (Pres-

break a fragile glass.]

The small tray beneath the dispenser is deslgned to evaporate
small
spills. There is not drain in this tray. Do not pour water into it.
Chilled
water comes from a tank behind the
meat drawer. It holds about 50 ounces (1.5L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up press the
water dispenser with a glass or jar until you have
drawn and discarded 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8L).
The water you draw and discard will rinse the
tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill the first tankful.
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 trapdoor closes, a
faint buzzing sound may be heard for a few
seconds.
