ICE & WATER DISPENSER

(continued)

To Dispense Ice and Water

For ice, set selector switch to
CUBED or CRUSHED. For water,

simply position glass beneath the
word “WATER.”

Grip 

glass or other container

gently near the rim and press rim
firmly against ice or water
dispenser cradle.

When Dispensing Ice...

Some  crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED. This happens
occasionally when a few cubes accidentally 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.

When Dispensing Water...

The water system provides approximately six
successive 6-ounce 

 which several

hours must be allowed for replenished water reservoir
supply to cool. You probably will not drain 

 the

chilled water from the reservoir on a single occasion. “

The first 

 of water dispensed maybe 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.

To Stop Dispensing

Release pressure from cradle and withdraw slowly
to catch last bits of ice or drops of water.

Some slight dripping may occur following dispensing
of crushed ice or water. If excessive, the spill should

be wiped dry immediately.

Do not pour water in spill shelf because it is not
self-draining-pour it in the 

 

 The shelf

and its grille should be cleaned regularly according to
the Care and Cleaning section.
