About the ice and water dispenser.
On some models
To Use the Dispenser
Press the rim of the glass gently against the
dispenser pad.
Select CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE
(on some models) or WATER .
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To
reduce water spotting, the shelf and its grille
should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser pad for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water
line and to fill the water system. To flush out
impurities in the water line, throw away the first
six glassfuls of water.
A light switch (on some models) turns the
night light
in the dispenser on or off. The
light also comes on when the dispenser pad
is pressed. The light in the dispenser should
be replaced with a 7 watt maximum bulb
when it burns out.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Spill Shelf
Ice Storage Bin
To remove:
Lift the left corner to free the bin from the
shelf and pull the bin straight out while
supporting it at front and rear.
To replace:
Slide the bin back until the tab on the bin
locks into the slot on the shelf. If the bin
does not go all the way back, remove it and
rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then
push the bin back again.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
■ Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage bin. It may not crush or
dispense well.
■ Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice
can jam the chute or cause the door in
the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking
the chute, poke it through with a wooden
spoon.
■ Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage bin may cause the icemaker or
auger to jam.
■ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED ICE. This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crusher.
■ After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip from the chute.
■ Sometimes a mound of snow will form on
the door in the ice chute. This condition
is normal and usually occurs when you
have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.
The snow will eventually evaporate.
■ Dispensed water is not ice cold. For
colder water, simply add crushed ice or
cubes before dispensing water.
