REFRESWNT

CENTER

The Refreshment Center consisti of an Automatic Icemaker, an

Ice & Water Dispenser and a special Refreshment Center Compartment

with i@ own door that becomes a counter when you open it.

Icemaker Ice & Water Dispenser

It replaces the ice you use.. automatically. It dispenses ice cubes, crushed ice and chilled water

through the freezer compartment door.

Refreshment Center Compartment

It makes frequently used items stored on the fresh

food door readily accessible through the Refreshment

Center Compartment door without having to open the

main refrigerator door.

It provides an extra counter-high work surface with its

own light right at the refrigerator when the

Refreshment Center Compartment door is open. Close

the door after use.

Although durable, stain- and scratch-resistant, the

work su$ace on the Refreshment Center counter

should not be used as a cutting

bouard.

Sharp utensils

can damage it.

The Refreshment Center Compartment is also

accessible through a lift-up door on the inside of the

fresh food campartrnent door.

To remove the Refreshment Center Porta-Bin, open

the outer door to free the lip on the bin from the

overlapping door.

Cold air entering from the freezer compartment

keeps the temperature in the Refreshment Center

Compartment at proper food-keeping levels.

Then raise the inner door and lift the bin straight up

until hooks on bin come out of tracks on door.

Refreshment Center Porta-Bin must be replaced in

its original position.

ICE & WATER DISPENSER

custom dispenser that dispenses chilled water, ice (1) dual solenoid valve to the

Water is frozen in the

cubes forward into the dispensing unit. Cubes or

crushed ice, as selected, dispense through chute in

When the switch is moved to CRUSHED, baffle in

housing channels cubes through the crusher and

crushed ice falls through chute into glass.

Water from reservoir flows through the

ICE & WATER DISPENSER

(continued)

To Dispense Ice and Water

For ice, set selector switch to

CUBED or CRUSHED. For water,

simply position glass beneath the

word “WATER.”

Grip

glass or other container

gently near the rim and press rim

firmly against ice or water

dispenser cradle.

When Dispensing Ice...

Some crushed ice may be dispensed even

though you selected CUBED. This happens

occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get

channeled to the crusher.

Sometimes a mound of snow will 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.

When Dispensing Water...

The water system provides approximately six

successive 6-ounce

glassfuleafter

which several

hours must be allowed for replenished water reservoir

supply to cool. You probably will not drain

the

chilled water from the reservoir on a single occasion. “

The first glass of water dispensed maybe warmer

than the following ones. This is normal.

Dispensed water is cool, not iced. For colder

water, simply add crushed ice or cubes before

dispensing water.

To Stop Dispensing

Release pressure from cradle and withdraw slowly

to catch last bits of ice or drops of water.

Some slight dripping may occur following dispensing

of crushed ice or water. If excessive, the spill should

be wiped dry immediately.

Do not pour water in spill shelf because it is not

self-draining-pour it in the titchen

sifi.

The shelf

and its grille should be cleaned regularly according to

the Care and Cleaning section.

If This Is Your First Icemaker...

You’ll hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar. These are normal

sounds and are not cause for concern.

Water Filter Accessory

The

pefiect

companion to your automatic

icemaker—a water filter.

Your ice cubes can only be as fresh-tasting as the

water that produces them. That’s why it’s a good idea

to purify your water with a water filter.

Its activated charcoal removes musty, stale odors and

unpleasant medicinal, metallic tastes. A porous fiber

cartridge catches dirt, rust particles, sand and silt

while special crystals reduce deposits of hard scale.

The water filter is an option at extra cost and is

available from your GE dealer. Specify WR97X0214.

It has complete installation instructions and installs in

minutes on 1/4” O.D. copper water line.
