To Dispense Ice:
1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch between
cubed and crushed, press ICE TYPE.
2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser pad. Hold the glass
close to the ice guide to ensure that the ice dispenses into the
glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the pad
in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make
the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after
removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue to
make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
The Dispenser Light
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 DIM.
The display screen indicates which mode is selected.
ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on.
DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. The dispenser
light will remain on, but at a lower intensity.
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, see “Troubleshooting” or
“Problem Solver” for more information.
The Dispenser Lock
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 refrigerator, to
the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
controls and dispenser pads. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker
and Storage Bin.”
■
Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.
■
Press and hold LOCK a second time to unlock the dispenser.
The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
■
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 storage bin.
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.
Style 1
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:
The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin has
been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on the left
side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin. See the following
section for bin removal instructions.
■
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.
NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage bin
from overfilling during normal operation. The ice maker sensors will
automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the
ON (left) position.
