ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES
The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.
To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using the touchped. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice.To stop dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. 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.)
How the Water Dispenser Works
The water tank, located behind the drawers in the refrigerator compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fall between 20 psi and 100 psi.

After the refdge rator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about minutes after activating the dispenser peddle before water begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system for 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing con nections of any impurities.The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff mechanism.

How the Ice Dispenser Works

The ice maker and container are located in the top 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 or three times before making a full tray of ice. Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's
On/Off power switch. Press the switch to the "O" position to turn it Off and press it to the "1" position to turn it On. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the ice container.
The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full.This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes. 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.
