3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds
after removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may
continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
Removable Dispenser Tray (on some models)
Your dispenser may include a small tray at the bottom of the
dispenser. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy
cleaning. The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried
to the sink to be emptied or cleaned.
NOTE: There is no drain in the tray. When the tray is full of water, it
will need to be removed and emptied.
The Dispenser Light (on some models)
When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on.
If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either
ON or AUTO.
ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.
AUTO: Press LIGHT a second time to select AUTO mode. The
dispenser light will automatically adjust to become brighter as the
room brightens, dimmer as the room darkens.
OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it
appears that your dispenser lights are not working, be sure that
the light sensor is not blocked (in AUTO mode). See
“Troubleshooting” for more information.
The Dispenser Lock (on some models)
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
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
ice and water dispensers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin.”
■ Press and hold LOCKOUT for 3 seconds to lock the
dispenser. While the dispenser is locking, “LOCKING” will
appear on the display screen and the blue indicator light
around the LOCKOUT button will flash. When the dispenser is
locked, the indicator light will change to red for a few seconds,
then turn off.
■ Press and hold LOCKOUT a second time to unlock the
dispenser. While the dispenser is unlocking, “UNLOCKING”
will appear on the display screen and the red indicator light
around the LOCKOUT button will flash. When the dispenser is
unlocked, the indicator light will change to blue for a few
seconds, then turn off.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
Style 1:
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 manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the
OFF (right) position.
Style 2:
The On/Off switch is located on the ice maker, behind the ice
maker cover door.
■ To turn on the ice maker, flip the switch to the ON (top)
position.
■ To manually turn off the ice maker, flip the switch to the
OFF (bottom) position.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The ice maker
sensors will automatically stop ice production when the ice
storage bin is full or the freezer door is opened, but the control will
remain in the ON 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 or
bucket. This can cause damage to the ice container and the
dispenser mechanism.
■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage
bin.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
1. Hold the base of the storage bin with both hands and press
the release button to lift the storage bin up and out.
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the ice maker control to the
OFF position when removing the storage bin. The sensor
cover (“flipper door”) on the left wall of the freezer stops the
ice maker from producing ice if the door is open or the storage
bin is removed.
2. Replace the storage bin on the door and push down to make
sure it is securely in place.
