Usage of the Dispenser Usage of the Dispenser: Select one crushed ice, cold water, and ice cubes and push the ice/water lever gently as follows: When you want crushed ice: When you want cubed ice: When you want cold water: Press the selecting button until the crushed ice indicator is lit. Push the lever gently with the cup. Crushed ice will be provided. Press the selecting button until the cubed ice indicator is lit. Push the lever gently with the cup. Cubed ice will be provided. Press the selecting button until the cold water indicator is lit. Push the lever gently with the cup. Cold water will be provided. When you use crushed ice: Even if you are using cubed ice, you may still get some crushed ice. This can happen when several ice cubes are sent to the ice crusher. Sometimes a small mount of snow or frost will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The frost will eventually melt. When you use cold water: When you first push the lever, cold water might not come out immediately. This is because there may be air in the pip. Press the lever for at least 2 minutes to clear out the air, and then fill your cup with water. The first cup of water may be warmer than the following cups. This is normal. If you take out 2 cups, or 16 oz, the water may become warmer again. This is also normal. The water you will get is simply cooled water, with no ice cubes or crushed ice. For colder water, add crushed ice or ice cubes to your cold water. Warning To avoid injury, never put your fingers or any other objects in the dispenser opening. Precautions of Using the Water and Ice Dispenser Do not use a cup that is too deep, too narrow, or too soft. Keep the cup a proper distance from the dispenser. Raise the cup near the ice outlet to prevent an ice cube jumping or splashing out. If the cup is too close, the ice might break when it hits the bottom. 5 seconds after you take ice and water, you will hear a sound. This is the sound of the closing ice outlet. After you take ice and release the lever, keep your cup in the ice outlet for 2-3 seconds, as cubed ice might still come out. After you take water, keep your cup under the dispenser for 2-3 seconds, as water might still come out. Do not pour extra water into the spill shelf. Wipe water dripped from the drink dispenser with a cloth. If you choose cubed ice right after crushed ice, you may get some crushed ice mixed in. If you only use crushed ice, the outlet may become blocked by crushed ice. Remove the remaining crushed ice to continue using. Do not put a drink bottle or other food in the ice container for fast cooling. This could damage the icemaker. Do not touch the ice outlet by hand it may cause injury to you hand. Do not dismantle the icemaker cover. Throw away the first 7 glasses of water and 20 cubes of ice to flush out impurities in the pipe. Throw away the first several batches of cubed ice after a long time of not making cubed ice. Do not put purchased cubed ice or other cubed ice in the icemaker. It may not crush or dispense well. If cubed ice is too small, it means that the inlet water is too small. If cubed ice is too big, or there is a water overflow in the icemaker that causes all of the ice to freeze together into one block, it means that the inlet water is too big. Adjust the tap or contact a service engineer. When you are making cubed ice, the motor valve or other parts may sputter or make noise. This is normal.
