[. . . ] • If the dispenser does not dispense ice when you press the bar, change the ice selection from ice cubes to crushed ice or vice versa, (see figure) so as to remove any ice blocks. • If the dispenser still does not dispense ice, wait two minutes and repeat this operation. • If there is condensation in the ice/water dispenser area, press the corresponding button (marked A in the figure) to activate the anticondensation device. To dispense water: After the water dispenser has been switched on, throw the first glasses of water away, then the water can be used. Repeat this operation whenever water has not been dispensed for a long time. You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the dispenser. Hold the edge of the glass close to the dispenser opening. Remove the glass slowly so water does not spill out of the glass. Pressing hard will not make the water dispenser operate faster or produce greater quantities. 37 4gb33015. fm Page 38 Wednesday, March 10, 2004 4:02 PM Use of the dispenser light and dispenser lock (on some models) The dispenser area has a night light.

The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. [. . . ] When the light changes from green to yellow, this means that it is almost time to change the water filter cartridge (90% of the filter life has been used). The water filter cartridge should be replaced when the water filter indicator light changes to red. Or when water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably (See “Changing a water filter cartridge” later in this section). Note: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. [. . . ]
