The dispenser could include an automatic ice maker, which produces crushed or cubed pieces of ice. Also, it could have an ice tray that is removable. This tray must be filled manually and released by turning the knob. You'll also find some models come with an ice box in the freezer for an additional supply of frozen cubes.
