Important
facts about
your ice
& water
dispenser
Do not add ice fiom trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice
call jam the chute or cause the door ill the
chute to fleeze shut. If ice is blocking the
chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
Cans, bottles oa food packages ill the
storage bill may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice flom missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBES. This happens
occasionally when a few cubes accidentally
get directed to the crushei.
AtYer crushed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip flom the chute.
Sometimes a mound of snow will form on
the door ill the ice chute. This condition is
normal and usually occurs when you have
dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow
will eventually evaporate.
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder
water, simply add crushed ice or cubes
before dispensing wateL
The first glass of water dispensed may be
warmer than the following ones. This is
noItllal.
To eliminate drips on the spill shelf, tilt the
glass in slightly when dispensing wateL

How it Works
The Climate Control feaUlre is a sysmm of
dampe_5, a fan, a mmpemmre thermistor,
a heater and a specially designed uay.
The Climam Control drawer can be used
m chill items quickly, thaw foods quickly or
store items at their optimum mmpemtures.
The drawer is tightly sealed m prevent die
drawer's temperature fiom causing temperature
fluctuations in the rest of die refligemtoL
SELECT TEMP--Use tiffs feature to store
items at their optimum temperatures.
The CITRUS setting will maintain a drawer
temperature of 6°C by cycling a small
heater off and on as needed. The PRODUCE
setting will maintain the drawer temperature
at 1°C by drawing in additional cold air as
needed. The MEAT setting will maintain the
drawer temperature at 0°C by drawing in
additional cold air as needed.
EXPRESS CHILL--This feature can be used
to cool items in minutes, rather than hours.
Exua cool air is circulated throughout the
drawer. Once the cycle is complete, the
drawer will revert to the pre-set flesh food
temperature.
EXPRESS THAW--TIffs feature thaws items
in hours rather than days. Food is gendy
thawed in a cool environment by circulating
air ttlroughout the drawer. Temperature is
maintained in the drawer by cycling a small
heater off and on as needed. Once the thaw
cycle is complete, the pan will automatically
adjust to a temperature of 0°C to store the
food at its optimum temperature.
Climate Control Tray--Besides using the
specially designed Climate Conuol uay
when using the drawer, it can also be used
as a chilled serving mty to keep foods cold.
NOTE: By turning the controls on the Climate
Conuol drawer ofLthe drawer can be used as a
standard sealed produce pan. The temperature
inside the drawer will be the same as the flesh
