iCE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES
The iceand 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 instructionsfor the dispenser operation are attached to the inside
of the freezer door.)
The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of iceevery 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice isproduced at a rate of 8
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
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 30 psi and 100 psi.
Water pressure must not exceed !00 Ibs. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction,
After the refrigerator isconnected to the water supply, fill the water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about
11/2minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water begins to fill 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.
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker' if the ice maker isconnected
to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly
How the ice Dispenser Works
The icemaker and container are located inthe top of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator
isinstalled properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin making icewithin
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. To
gain access to the ice maker, slide the ice cream tray out. Press the switch to the "0" position to
turn it Off and press it to the 'T' position to turn it On. With no usage it will take approximately 2
days to fill the ice container. The icemaker also has a built-in wire signal arm,which automatically
stops ice production when the ice bin isfull. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop
the ice maker.
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 TIPS
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker's On/Off
power switch isturned On (set to the 'T' position). The ice maker will then produce more ice.
Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
Keep the icemaker's On/Off power switch turned Off (set to the "0" position) until the refrigerator isconnected tothe water
supply or whenever the water supply isturned off.
IMPORTANT: The ice make[ isturned Qn at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator_ !f you
cannot connect a water supply, turn the On/Off switch to the Off ('i0')position. Otherwise, the ice makeCs valve
may be noisy when it attemp ts to operate Without wate r,
if the dispensing paddle is pushe d for more than 4 minutes, the dispenser motor may overload
and stop,The overload protector will reset automatically after 3 or 4 minutes.
