Important  
Your Ice &Water Dispenser  
about  
Your refrigerator has an automatic  
icemaker and a dispenser that  
dispenses chilled water and ice  
cubes through the freezer  
compartment door. Here’s how  
they work.  
Your icemaker will produce eight  
cubes per cycle-approximately  
120 cubes in a 24-hour  
depending on freezer compartment  
temperature, room temperature,  
number of door openings and other  
use conditions.

Avoid overfilling glasses with  
ice and  
narrow or extra-till  
glasses. This can jam the chute or  
cause the door in the chute to freeze  
shut. Periodically open the freezer  
compartment door and look down  
into the chute. If ice is blocking  
the chute, poke it through with a  
wooden spoon.  
To help keep bits of ice from  
being sprayed beyond the glass,

When Dispensing Ice...  
To Dispense Ice and Water  
Once Your Icemaker and

Some crushed ice may be  
dispensed even though you

happens occasionally when a few  
cubes inadvertently get diverted  
to the crusher.  
For ice, touch CUBED or

CHILLED WATER.  
Throw away the first few batches  
ice cubes (16 or 24 cubes). This  
will flush away any impurities in  
the water line. Do the same thing  
after vacations or extended periods  
when ice isn’t used.  
Sometimes a mound of snow will  
form on the door in the ice chute.  
This condition is normal, and  
usually occurs when you have  
dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.  
The snow will eventually evaporate.  
Discard the first six  
of  
water in the kitchen sink. This will  
eliminate the slight “plastic” taste  
temporarily imparted to the water  
by the water reservoir.  
Keep ice level to keep icemaker  
productive. Cubes ejected into  
an empty storage bin will pile up  
close to the icemaker and push the  
feeler arm up to the OFF position  
prematurely when the bin is only  
partially full. Open the ice access  
door, reach in, level the cubes by

If Ice Is Not Used Often...  
To Stop Dispensing  
Old ice cubes will become cloudy  
and taste stale. Empty ice storage  
bin periodically and wash it in  
lukewarm water. Be sure to allow  
storage bin to cool before replacing  
it—otherwise ice cubes will stick  
to the metal auger.  
Release pressure from cradle and  
withdraw slowly to catch last ice  
cubes or drops of water.  
Some slight dripping may occur  
following dispensing of chilled

be wiped dry immediately.
