Automatic Ice and
Water Dispenser
The ice and water dispenser on the freezer door conveniently dispenses chilled
water, and either ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model. Some models
feature a slide knob selector for ice and water dispensing, while other models
feature a touch pad selector for dispensing.
To operate the dispenser, press the pad or slide the knob for the selection of your
choice and press a glass against the dispensing arm. Hold the glass as far up as
possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing, pull glass away from dispensing arm.
When dispensing ice, release the dispensing arm before the glass is full, but 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.)
A 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.
Light
The dispenser has a light which can be turned on and off by sliding the knob to the
desired position or 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.
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 the refrigerator is installed and the plumbing connections are complete, the
water tank should be filled by drawing one glass of water.
It may take about 1-
1/2 minutes
after depressing the dispenser arm before water works its way through
the plumbing connections and begins to fill this first glass. Draw and discard 7 more
glasses to be sure that the tank and plumbing connections are rinsed of any
impurities. The water delivery system has a built in shut off device that will stop the
water flow after 3 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 the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several
hours, the ice maker can begin making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines
may cause the ice maker to cycle two ot three times before making a full tray of 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 2 days to fill the bin. However, the dispenser may be used after the
first batch of ice is made. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice storage
bin is full.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd flavor. These should be discarded until the cubes made are
free of discoloration and taste.
Remember that water quality deter-
mines your ice quality. It is best to connect the ice maker to water that is not softened.
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. Connect the
ice maker to a potable water source that is not tied into a water softening system.
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks, and locks in the "up" or
OFF position
.

To help prevent unwanted use, your dispenser is also equipped with a lock out
feature that allows you to disable the entire ice and water system for operating. To
activate, simply press the picture of the padlock (see illustration) until the red light
comes on in the window above it (3-5 seconds). To deactivate the lock out feature,
repeat the above procedure until the red light goes out. Your ice and water
dispensing system is again ready for normal use.
