iCE AND WATER DmSPENSER 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 touchpad. 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 refrigerator compartment, automaticaIly fills as water is dispensed. For proper dispenser
operation, the recommended supply water pressure should fal! between 20 psi and 100 psi.
After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water, it may take about 11/2
minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to filI this first glass. Continue flushing the system for 3 minutes
to rid the tank and plumbing connections 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 "l" 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 will produce 8 cubes per cycle and approximately 150 cubes in 24 hours, depending
on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings, and other
usage conditions.
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.
iCE DISPENSER TraPS
