the chute or cause the door in the chute
to freeze 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 drawer. Cans,
bottles or food packages in the storage
drawer may cause the icemaker or auger
to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the
glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.

Cleaning the Outside

The dispenser drip area, beneath the grille,

happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip from the chute.

form on the door in the ice chute. This
condition is normal and usually occurs
when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually
evaporate.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner. A
spray-on stainless steel cleaner works best.
