ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
8
To Dispense Ice and Water
• Select:
water (on some models),
ice cubes,
or crushed ice (on some
models).
• Grip the glass or other container near the rim and press the rim
against the center of the pad.
• After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. The shelf and its grille should be
cleaned regularly according to the Care and Cleaning instructions.

Crushed Ice Water
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected .
This happens occasionally when a few cubes get channeled to the
crusher.
• 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.
• Sometimes crushed ice will spray beyond the glass. To avoid this,
hold the glass up close to the chute.
• On models with a water dispenser, 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.
• The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the following
ones. This is normal.
• Dispensed water is cool, not iced. For colder water, simply add
crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or other objects into the
dispenser opening.
To Remove Ice Storage Bin To Replace Ice Storage Bin
Lift the left corner to free the bin from
the shelf. Pull the bin straight out while
supporting it at front and back. Slide the bin back until the tab on the
bin locks into the slot in the shelf.
If the bin does not go all the way back,
remove it and turn the drive mechanism
1/4 turn. Then push the bin back again
until the tab on the bin locks into the
slot in the shelf.
Important Facts About Your Dispenser
• If this is your first icemaker you’ll hear occasional sounds that
may be unfamiliar. These are normal icemaking sounds and are not
cause for concern.
• Your icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle—approximately
120 cubes in a 24-hour period—depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other
use conditions.
• Intermittent dispensing of ice is normal. If ice flow interruption is
more than brief, ice clump(s) may be the cause and should be
removed following instructions in this section.
• Avoid over-filling glasses with ice and using narrow or extra-tall
glasses. This can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to
freeze shut. Periodically open the freezer compartment door and look
down into the chute. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with
a wooden spoon.
• To help keep bits of ice from being sprayed beyond the glass,
place the glass close to the ice chute—but not so close that it blocks
out-coming ice.
• Add ice before adding beverage to prevent splashing.
• 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.
• Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not
crush or dispense well.
CAUTION: Some products such as water ices should not be
consumed too cold.
