Dispenser User Operation
On non-electronic models, water and ice
selections are made by positioning
the selector switch knob which is located at
the lower left side of the console. The
switch has a detent at each selection to
ensure positive positioning.
On electronic models, water and ice
selections are made by touching pads
which are located along the lower front
of the console. Indicator lights,
adjacent to the touch pads, verify the
selection that is made.
When dispensing ice, either crushed or
cubes, the duct door is opened by an
electrical solenoid as a glass is gently
pressed against the dispenser pad. After
the glass is withdrawn from the pad, the
duct door will remain open for 5 to 10
seconds to prevent the entrapment of ice
in the duct and chute. An audible “snap”
can be heard when the solenoid is
energized. Then, when the duct door
closes, a soft “pop” may also be heard.
On models that have a light in the
recess, the light will automatically be
illuminated when the dispenser pad is
pressed. The light can also be turned on
and off manually. On non-electronic
models, the light switch is located at
the lower right side of the console. On
electronic models, the light switch is
located below the console at the left
side.
The grille at the bottom of the recess
housing can be easily removed by
pressing downward at the right rear
corner.
