To dispense ice:
1. Press 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.
IMPORTANT: 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 dispense
faster or in greater quantities.
3. 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, take large amounts of ice from the ice bin,
not through the dispenser.
The water dispenser
Chilled water comes from a container behind the meat
drawer. It holds approximately 1¹⁄₂ quarts (1.5 L).
When the refrigerator is first hooked up, press the water
dispenser bar with a glass or jar until you draw and dis-
card 2 or 3 quarts (1.9 to 2.8 L). It will take three to four
minutes for the water to begin dispensing. The water you
draw and discard rinses the tank and pipes.
Allow several hours to chill a new tankful.
IMPORTANT: The small removable tray at the bottom of
the dispenser is designed to catch small spills and allow
for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. The tray can
be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to
be emptied or cleaned.
To dispense water:
1. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
The dispenser light
The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on
manually by pressing the “ON” button at the right hand
side of the control panel. The red indicator above the “ON”
button will appear. On some models: whenever you use
the dispenser the lever will automatically turn the light on.
NOTE: See the “Changing the Light Bulbs” section for
information on changing the dispenser light bulb.
On models without crushed ice, the light switch is a
rocker-style type. Push the switch to turn the light on, and
push again to turn the light off.
The dispenser lock
(on some models)
Your dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to
prevent accidental dispensing by small children and pets.
To turn off the dispenser, press the LOCK button. The
indicator will appear above the LOCK button and the ice
and water dispensers will not work. To unlock the
dispenser, press the UNLOCK button until the indicator
appears. Then continue to dispense ice or water as usual.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the
product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It
simply deactivates the dispenser levers.
