Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before
dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button
controls are designed for easy use and cleaning.
ICE
CRUSH
CUBE
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:
1. If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the
temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See
"Ice Maker and Storage Bin."
2. Press button for the desired type of ice.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing
ice.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
3,
Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold 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.
4,
Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
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 Dispenser Light
The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by
pressing the ON button (touchpad or rocker switch).
On some models: Whenever you use the dispenser, the lever will
automatically turn the light on.

The Dispenser
Lock (on some models)
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 oft power to the
refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply
deactivates the dispenser levers.
To turn off the dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator
will appear above the LOCK button and the ice and water
dispensers will not work. To unlock the dispenser, press the
UNLOCK button until the indicator appears. Then continue to
dispense ice or water as usual.

The water filter status light will help you know when to change
your water filter. When the status light changes from green to
yellow, this tells you that it is almost time to change the water
filter. It is recommended
that you replace the filter when the
status light changes to red OR when water flow to your water
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. The filter should be
replaced at least every 6 months depending on your water quality
and usage. To change the filter, see "Changing the Water Filter."
