NOTE: For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are
dispensed. This may 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
CUBED, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along
with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
1. Press button pointing toward 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
If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was
first installed, press the water dispenser bar with a glass or jar
until you draw and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or approximately
6 to 7 minutes of water after water begins dispensing. It will take
3 to 4 minutes for the water to begin dispensing. The water you
draw and discard cleans the system and helps clear air from the
lines. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to cool down and
chill water.
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.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the water dispenser. Pressing harder
will not make the water dispense faster.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Water may have an off-flavor if you do not use the
dispenser frequently. Dispense enough water every week to
maintain a fresh supply.
The Dispenser Light
When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the
light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, press the
LIGHT button.
ON: Press the light bulb symbol on the dispenser control panel to
turn the dispenser light on.
OFF: Press the light bulb symbol again to turn the dispenser light
off.
The control panel lights are LEDs which should not need to be
changed. If it appears that your control panel lights are not
working, check to be sure that the light sensor is not blocked.
The Dispenser Lock
The ice and water dispensers can be turned off for easy cleaning
or to prevent accidental dispensing by small children and pets.
■ Press and hold Dispenser Lockout for about 3 seconds to turn
off the dispensers. The lock symbol will light up (yellow LED).
The ice and water dispensers will not work.
■ Press and hold Dispenser Lockout for about 3 seconds to
reactivate the dispenser levers. The lock symbol (yellow LED)
will turn off. 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.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) position.
To turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the OFF (right)
position
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production, but the control will
remain in the ON (left) position.
Remember:
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the
water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals
(such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to
poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided,
make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well
maintained.
■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This
can cause damage to the storage bin and the dispenser
mechanism.
■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the storage
bin.
