Ice and Water Dispenser (On some models.)
To dispense water or ice: select
Water, Crushed, or Cubed. Press the glass gently against the
top of the dispenser cradle.
The drip tray is not self-draining. To reduce water spotting, the shelf and its grille should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser
cradle for at least two minutes to remove trapped air from
the water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first gallon (3.8 liters) of water.
CAUTION Never put fingers or any other objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Locking the Dispenser:
Touch Lock for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser and control pad. To unlock, touch Lock again for 3 seconds.
Light:
This feature turns the light on and off. The light also comes on when the dispenser cradle is pressed. If this light burns out, contact factory service.
Ice Storage Drawer on Dispenser Models
To remove:
Lift up the access door to reach the icemaker. Set the icemaker power switch to the OFF position. With the access door closed, support the storage bin at the bottom while slightly lifting. Pull bin straight out.

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch on the icemaker to ON.
For dispense models, the icemaker can be turned on and off using the power switch on the icemaker or by using the Ice Maker button on the control panel. If you use the control panel to turn the icemaker off you will have to use the control panel to turn it back on. The same is true for the power switch on the icemaker.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle— approximately 15 cycles in a 24-hour period, depending

If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch on the icemaker to OFF.
CAUTION Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element (located on the bottom of the ice maker) that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
