cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing

The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
To turn the ice maker on, lift the ice maker cover, then lower 1.
the wire shutoff arm.

To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to 2.
the off (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
Refrigerator Operation
Water and Ice Dispensers
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When
the dispenser lever is pressed:
A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the
ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and falls through the chute.
When you release the dispenser lever, the trap door closes
and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not
operate when the freezer door is open.
Some models dispense both cubed and
crushed ice. Before dispensing ice, select
which type of ice you prefer. The key
controls are designed for easy use and
cleaning.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before
they are dispensed. This may cause a slight
delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is
normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from
crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed
along with the first cubes.
To Dispense Ice:
If the ice storage bin is 1.
located on the door, remove
the temporary shield from
underneath the ice storage
bin. See Ice Maker and
Storage Bin.
Press button for the desired 2.
type of ice.
Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold 3.
the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall
outside of the glass.
IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the
lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will
not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
Remove the glass to stop dispensing.4.
NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor from
new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take large
amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the dispenser.
The Water Dispenser
If you did not flush the water
system when the refrigerator was
first installed, press the water
dispenser bar with a sturdy glass
or jar until you draw and discard
6 qt (5.7 L) or approximately 3
to 4 minutes of water after water
begins dispensing. It will take 2 to
3 minutes for the water to begin
dispensing. The water you draw and discard cleans the system
and helps clear air from the lines. Allow several hours for the
refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the small removable tray
at the bottom of the dispenser is designed to catch small spills
and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. The tray
can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be
emptied or cleaned.
