Failure to do so can result in cuts.
Depending on your mode{, you may have one or more of the
following options: the ability to select either crushed or cubed
ice, a special light that turns on when you use the dispenser, or a
lock option to avoid unintentional dispensing.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When
the dispenser {ever is pressed:
• A trap door opens in a chute between the dispenser and the
ice bin. Ice moves from the bin and fails through the chute.
• When you re{ease the dispenser tever, the trap door closes
and the ice dispensing stops. The dispensing system will not
operate when the freezer door is open.
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.
For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before they are dispensed.
This may cause a slight detay when dispensing crushed ice.

in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of
crushed ice wi{{ be dispensed along with the first cubes.
