Automatic Ice and
Water Dispenser

The 

ice 

and 

water 

dispenser 

on 

the 

freezer 

door 

conveniently 

dispenses 

chilled 

water,

crushed 

ice, 

and 

ice 

cubes. 

To 

operate 

dispenser, 

press 

the 

pad 

for 

the 

selection 

of

your 

choice. 

 

Press 

glass 

against 

the 

dispensing 

arm, 

as 

shown 

left. 

 

Be 

sure 

to 

hold

the 

glass 

up 

as 

far 

as 

possible 

to 

catch 

all 

cubes. 

To 

stop 

dispensing, 

pull 

glass 

away

from 

dispensing 

arm. 

 

When 

dispensing 

ice, 

release 

dispensing 

arm 

before 

glass 

is

full, 

but 

do 

not 

remove 

the 

glass 

until 

the 

ice 

has 

completely 

dispensed. 

(Complete

instructions 

for 

dispenser 

operation 

are 

attached 

to 

the 

inside 

of 

the 

freezer 

door.)

small 

heated 

area 

beneath 

the 

dispenser 

floor 

catches 

and 

evaporates 

small 

spills.

This 

drip 

tray 

is 

removable 

and 

dishwasher 

safe. 

Do 

not 

pour 

water 

or 

excess 

cubes

into 

this 

area, 

because 

there 

is 

no 

drain.

How the Water Dispenser Works

The 

water 

tank 

is 

located 

behind 

the 

drawers 

in 

the 

refrigerator 

compartment. 

 

As

the 

water 

is 

dispensed, 

the 

tank 

is 

automatically 

refilled. 

 

For 

proper 

operation 

of 

the

dispenser, 

the 

supply 

water 

pressure 

must 

fall 

between 

30 

psi 

and 

120 

psi.

After 

refrigerator 

is 

installed, 

and 

the 

plumbing 

connections 

are 

complete, 

fill 

the

water tank by drawing one glass of water. This may take approximately

1-1/2 

minutes. 

 

Next 

draw 

and 

discard 

more 

glasses 

to 

be 

sure 

tank 

and 

plumbing

connections 

are 

rinsed 

of 

any 

impurities. 

The 

water 

delivery 

system 

has 

built 

in 

shut

off 

device 

that 

will 

stop 

the 

water 

flow 

after 

minutes 

of 

continuous 

use. 

Simply

release 

the 

actuator 

button 

to 

reset 

the 

dispensing 

mechanism.

How the Ice Dispenser Works

The 

ice 

maker 

and 

ice 

storage 

bin 

are 

located 

in 

the 

top 

left 

corner 

of 

the 

freezer

compartment. 

After 

refrigerator 

is 

installed 

properly 

and 

has 

cooled 

for 

several 

hours,

the 

ice 

maker 

can 

begin 

making 

ice. 

To 

begin 

ice 

production, 

lower 

the 

wire 

signal

arm 

to 

the 

"down" 

or 

ON 

position. 

As 

cubes 

are 

made, 

they 

are 

stored 

in 

the 

storage

bin. 

With 

no 

usage 

it 

will 

take 

approximately 

days 

to 

fill 

the 

bin. 

However, 

the

dispenser 

may 

be 

used 

after 

the 

first 

batch 

of 

ice 

is 

made. 

Ice 

maker 

turns 

off

automatically 

when 

the 

ice 

storage 

bin 

is 

full.

Because 

of 

the 

new 

plumbing 

connections, 

the 

first 

production 

of 

ice 

cubes 

may 

be

discolored, 

or 

have 

an 

odd 

flavor. 

These 

should 

be 

discarded 

until 

cubes 

made 

are

free 

of 

discoloration 

and 

taste.

 

 

 

 

 

 Remember  that  water  quality

determines 

your 

ice 

quality. 

 

It 

is 

best 

to 

connect 

the 

ice 

maker 

to 

water 

that 

is 

not

softened. 

 

Chemicals 

from 

malfunctioning 

softener 

can 

damage 

the 

ice 

maker. 

 

If

ice 

maker 

is 

connected 

to 

soft 

water, 

ensure 

the 

softener 

is 

maintained 

and 

working

properly.

To 

stop 

the 

ice 

maker, 

lift 

the 

wire 

signal 

arm 

until 

it 

clicks, 

and 

locks 

in 

the 

"up" 

or

OFF 

position.

Light

The 

dispenser 

has 

light 

that 

can 

be 

turned 

on 

and 

off 

by 

pressing 

the 

"Light 

ON/

OFF" 

pad. 

The 

light 

also 

turns 

on 

automatically 

when 

ice 

and/or 

water 

is 

dispensed.

Replace 

light 

bulb 

with 

an 

appliance 

bulb 

of 

the 

same 

wattage.
