The Ice Dispenser Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the ICE button. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected. crushed CRUSHED cubed CUBED For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being 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. Press the button to select the desired type of ice. Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts. 2. 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. 3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.
