This will prevent splashing, whichcould cause the ice selector switchto stick or bind.n Do not add ice from trays or bags tothe storage bin. It may not crush or dis-pense well.n Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use ofnarrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up icecan jam the chute or cause the door inthe chute to freeze shut. If ice is blockingthe chute, poke it through with a woodenspoon.n Beverages and foods should not bequick-chilled in the ice storage bin.Cans, bottles or food packages in the stor-age bin may cause the icemaker or augerto jam.n Some crushed ice may be dispensed eventhough you selectedCUBES. This hap-pens occasionally when a few cubes acci-dentally get directed to the crusher.n After crushed ice is dispensed, somewater may drip from the chute.n Sometimes a mound of snow will form onthe door in the ice chute. This conditionis normal and usually occurs when youhave dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.The snow will eventually evaporate.n Dispensed water is not ice cold. For cold-er water, simply add crushed ice or cubesbefore dispensing water.13
