Rotating Faucet and Pull-out Tray (on some models) On some models, the dispenser has a rotating water faucet and a pull-out tray at the bottom. To Dispense Ice: 1. Select the desired type of ice. WARNING A B A. Faucet rotated B. Pull-out tray ■ The faucet rotates to the center to allow for easy dispensing into large containers. To rotate it, push in on the right-hand side of the faucet as shown. 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 pad OR place the glass below the ice dispenser and press the ice dispenser button. Push in on the left-hand side to rotate the faucet back into place. NOTE: When using the dispenser with the faucet rotated, do not use the water dispenser pad. Only use the water dispenser button to dispense. Dispensing by pressing the container against the water dispenser pad may result in unintentional spilling. ■ The tray can be pulled out a bit in order to better support large containers. It is designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is no drain in the tray. NOTE: The tray can be removed from the dispenser and carried to the sink to be emptied or cleaned. Pull the tray out until it hits the stop, then gently lift up on the back of the tray and slide it out the rest of the way. Ice Dispenser Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser pad is pressed. The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator door is open. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." Your ice maker can produce crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, press ICE on the display screen to select which type of ice you would like to dispense. The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected. CRUSHED 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. 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 pad or button in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities. 3. Remove the glass OR release the button to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds after removing the glass from the pad or releasing the button. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing. Dispenser Light When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, press LIGHT on the display screen to toggle between the ON and OFF settings. The display screen indicates which mode is selected. ON: The dispenser light will remain on at a consistent brightness. OFF: The dispenser light will remain off except when dispensing water or ice. The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see "Troubleshooting" for more information. 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 dispenser controls and levers. To turn off the ice maker, see "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." ■ To lock the dispenser, press OPTIONS, then LOCK, then YES. The display screen will confirm when the dispenser is locked. ■ To unlock the dispenser, press OPTIONS, then LOCK, then YES. The display screen will confirm when the dispenser is unlocked. 11
