Maytag W10214491A Manuale Utente

IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a 
fresh supply.

1. Press the WATER button to select water.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is 
open. Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer 
when the dispenser lever is pressed.

NOTE: Some models dispense both cubed and crushed ice. 
Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer. 

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This 
may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise 
from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size. 
When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed 
ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

1. Press the CUBED or CRUSHED button to select the desired 

type of ice.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold the 

glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall 
outside of the glass. 

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to 
the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard 
will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

■

Press the ON button to turn on the dispenser light.

■

Press the OFF button to turn off the dispenser light.

On some models, the dispenser lights are LEDs which should not 
need to be changed. See “Troubleshooting” for more information.

The Dispenser Lock (on some models)

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid 
unintentional dispensing by small children and pets. 

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the product, 
to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates 
the dispenser lever. The ice and water dispensers will not work.

■

Press the ON button to lock the dispenser. 

■

Press the OFF button to unlock the dispenser. 

■

To turn on the ice maker, lift open the translucent ice maker 
door and lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON position.

■

To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to 
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still 
be dispensed, but no more can be made.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, 
the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will 
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not 
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

■

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the 
first three batches of ice produced.

■

The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of 
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the 
ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener 
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker 
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot 
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating 
properly and is well maintained.

■

Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage 
bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the 
dispenser mechanism.

■

Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage 
bin.
