Water Dispenser Operation

It takes approximately 1 minute after initially pressing dispenser bar before water dispenses after initial connection of water supply. Discard first 10–14 containers of water after initially connecting refrigerator to household water supply and after extended periods of nonuse.

• Dispense water by pressing sturdy wide mouthed container against water dispenser bar.

• Stop water dispensing by releasing pressure on bar. A small amount of water may continue to fall. Spill shelf is not self-draining. Large spills should be wiped dry.

• Stop ice dispensing by releasing pressure on bar before container is full. Some ice will continue to fall. Do not remove container until last of ice falls.

If dispensing ice continuously, dispenser motor is designed to shut off after 3 to 5 minutes. Motor resets after 3 minutes and dispensing can continue.

A slight delay occurs when switching between cubed and crushed modes. Pieces of crushed ice will vary in size and shape. "Snow" may form on door and ice chute when repeatedly dispensing crushed ice. Allow "snow" to evaporate or wipe dry.

Dispenser operates only with cubes of proper size and crescent shape. Do not add purchased ice cubes or other shaped cubes to ice bucket.

Removing Ice Bucket

• Remove ice bucket by lifting bucket and pulling out.

• Replace ice bucket by sliding in until bucket locks in place. Ice bucket must be locked in place for proper ice dispensing. If freezer door does not close, bucket is not in proper location.

Ice Dispenser Operation

Caution

To avoid property damage, do not dispense ice directly into thin glass, fine china, or delicate crystal.

• Select cubed or crushed mode by sliding lever on dispenser panel. Dispense ice by pressing wide mouthed container against ice dispenser bar.

Important Reduce spraying of crushed ice by holding wide mouthed container directly under ice chute and as high as possible in dispenser area.

Mise au rebut du réfrigérateur

IMPORTANT : Les enfants qui se trouvent enfermés dans un réfrigérateur et y meurent d’asphyxie ne sont pas un problème du passé. Les réfrigérateurs mis au rebut ou abandonnés sont encore dangereux, même s’ils ne sont là que « pour quelques jours ». Lors de la mise au rebut d’un réfrigérateur, veiller à suivre les indications ci-dessous pour éviter les accidents.

AVANT DE JETER VOTRE VIEUX RÉFRIGÉRATEUR OU CONGÉLATEUR :

• Enlever les portes.

• Laisser les étagères en place de façon à ce que les enfants aient des difficultés à se glisser à l’intérieur.
