Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. The button controls are designed for easy use and cleaning. ICE CRUSH CUBE For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are 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. If the ice storage bin is located on the door, remove the temporary shield from underneath the ice storage bin. See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin." 2. Press button for the desired type of ice. The Dispenser Lock (on some models) 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 oft power to the refrigerator, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the dispenser levers. To turn off the dispenser, press the LOCK button. The indicator will appear above the LOCK button and the ice and water dispensers will not work. To unlock the dispenser, press the UNLOCK button until the indicator appears. Then continue to dispense ice or water as usual. DISPENSER LOCK UNLOCK Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts. 3, 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. 4, Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: The first few batches of ice may have an off-flavor from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away. Also, take large amounts of ice from the ice bin, not through the dispenser. The Dispenser Light The dispenser area has a light. It can be turned on manually by pressing the ON button (touchpad or rocker switch). On some models: Whenever you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn the light on. LIGHT OFF ON NOTE: See "Changing the Light Bulbs" for information on changing the dispenser light bulb. The water filter status light will help you know when to change your water filter. When the status light changes from green to yellow, this tells you that it is almost time to change the water filter. It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status light changes to red OR when water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months depending on your water quality and usage. To change the filter, see "Changing the Water Filter."
