To Dispense Ice:

1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch between

cubed and crushed, press the DISPENSE TYPE arrows.

2. To dispense ice, press a sturdy glass against the dispenser pad

OR press the ICE button. Hold the glass close to the ice guide to

ensure that the ice dispenses into the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the pad

in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make

the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. To stop dispensing, remove the glass from the dispenser pad OR

release the ICE button.

NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after

removing the glass from the pad. The dispenser may continue to

make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Light

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you

want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM.

ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on. “On” will appear on the

display screen.

DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. “Dim” will

appear on the display screen. The dispenser light will remain on, but at

a lower intensity.

OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off.

The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it appears

that your dispenser lights are not working, see “Problem Solver” 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 pad. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker

and Storage Bin.”

■ Press and hold LIGHT for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

“Dispenser Locked” will appear on the display screen.

■ Press and hold LIGHT a second time to unlock the dispenser.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first

three batches of ice produced.

■ 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.

■ 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.

■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin.

Style 1

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off:

The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin has

been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on the left

side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin. See the following

section for bin removal instructions.

■ To turn on the ice maker, slide the control to the ON (left) position.

■ To manually turn off the ice maker, slide the control to the

OFF (right) position.

NOTE: The ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage bin

from overfilling during normal operation. The ice maker sensors will

automatically stop ice production, but the control will remain in the

ON (left) position.

Removing and Replacing the Ice Storage Bin:

1. Press down the release lever and tilt the bucket outward. Use both

hands to hold the base of the storage bin, then lift it up and out.
