Cut Hazard

close to the ice guide to ensure that the ice dispenses into the
glass.

lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not
make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The Dispenser Light
On some models, the dispenser light will automatically turn on when
you use the dispenser.
J If you want the light to be on
continuously, press the
LIGHT ON button. To turn the
light back off, press the
LIGHT OFF button.
The dispenser lights are LEDs that
cannot be changed. If it appears that
your dispenser lights are not working, see the “Troubleshooting”
section for more information.
The Dispenser Lock
The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.
NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator,
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the
controls and dispenser lever. To turn off the ice maker, see the “Ice
Maker and Storage Bin” section.
J To lock the dispenser, press the LOCK button. To unlock
the dispenser, press the UNLOCK button.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
J Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first
three batches of ice produced.
J The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the
water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker
to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt)
can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If
a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water
softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
J Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin.
This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser
mechanism.
J Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.
