ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES

The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled

water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.

To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired

using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing

paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop

dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do

not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed.

(Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are

attached to the inside of the freezer door.)

AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER

ICE DISPENSER TIPS

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.

Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal

arm is in its “down” or ON position. The ice maker will then

produce more ice.

• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice

separated.

• Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position until

the refrigerator is connected to the water supply or

whenever the water supply is turned off.

• If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to

remove cubes directly from the ice container.

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is

operating:

• Motor running

• Ice dropping into ice container

• Water valve opening or closing

• Ice loosening from tray

• Running water

• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during

vacations.

• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time,

turn the water supply valve to the closed position.

Your ice maker is shipped with the wire signal arm in the

ON position. To ensure proper function of your ice maker,

hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF

by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the

UP position. If the icemaker is not turned off and the water

supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud

chattering noise.

CAUTION CAUTION

CAUTION

If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than 4

minutes, the dispenser motor may overload and stop.

The overload protector will reset automatically after 3

or 4 minutes.

CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER

Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals,

particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice

dispenser sticks.

1. Stop ice production by lifting the wire signal arm to the

"up" or OFF position.

2. Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and

carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse

with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Allow ice container to dry completely before replacing in

the freezer.

3. Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that

supports the ice container.

4. Replace the ice container. Lower the wire signal arm on

the ice maker to the "down" or ON position and the ice

maker will resume production.

When removing or replacing the ice bin, do not rotate the

auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally turned, you

must realign the auger by turning it in 90° turns until the ice

bin fits into place with the drive mechanism.

Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:

1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice

cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together

and jam the dispenser mechanism.

2. The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will

freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser

mechanism. Remove the ice storage bin and shake to

loosen the cubes.

CAUTION CAUTION

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice

pick or similar sharp

instrument to break

up the ice. This could

damage the ice

storage bin and

dispenser

mechanism.
