REFRIGERATOR USE The Ice Dispenser Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser button or paddle. IMPORTANT: If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See "Water Supply Requirements." To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute: Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked. If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks. ■ If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery chute, using a plastic utensil. ■ Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage bin using a warm, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. To Dispense Ice: WARNING Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts. The Dispenser Drip Tray There is an insert in the dispenser drip tray.

build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.
If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the
ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage
bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.
