Once your icemaker is in operation, throw

away the first few batches of ice cubes. This wi!l

flush away any impurities in the water line, Do the

same thing after vacations or long periods when ice

isn't used°

Discard the first six glassfuls of water in the

kitchen sink° This wil! eliminate the slight "plastic"

taste temporarily imparted to the water by the

water reservoir°

CAUTION: Under certain rare circumstances, ice

cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with

a green-bluish hue, This unusual discoloration is

apparently due to a combination of factors such as

certain characteristics of local waters, household

plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in an

inactive water supply tine which feeds the icemakero

Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes

may be injurious to health_ If your ice cubes are

discolored, discard them and contact your Sears

To Dispense Ice and Water

{

For ice, set selector switch to CUBED or CRUSHED°

For water, simply position container beneath words

"CHILLED WATER'.'

Grip container gently near the rim and press rim

firmly against ice or water dispenser cradle.

CAUTION: Never put fingers or other objects

into the ice crusher discharge opening.

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 wilt eventually evaporate.

The water system provides approximately six

successive 6.ounce glassfuls, after which it takes

several hours for replenished water reservoir supply

to cool. You probably will not drain all the chilled

water from the reservoir on a single occasion,

The first glass of water dispensed may be

warmer than the following ones. This is normal°

Dispensed water is chilled, not iced. For colder

water, simply add ice 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 chilled water_ If

excessive, wipe the spill dry immediately.

Do not pour water in spill shelf because it is not self-

draining--pour it in the kitchen sink, Clean the spill

shelf and its grille regularly--see page 12.

If ice Clumps Form in Storage Bin o,_

If ice is not used often, ice clumps can form in the

storage bin, resulting in temporary malfunction of

the dispenser mechanism, If this happens, remove

storage bin from freezer compartment, break up ice

clumps with fingertip pressure and discard

remaining clumps,

Replace bin before remaining cubes melt and fuse

together.

To remove ice cube

storage bin, lift the left

corner to free the bin

from the shelf, and pull

the bin straight out while

supporting it at front and

back.

To replace bin, slide the bin back until the tab on

the bin locks into the slot in the shelf, Rotate

If bin does not go all the way back, /"=_,_.

remove it and rotate the drive

mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push bin

back again until the tab on the bin Drive

locks into the slot in the shelf, mechanism _'J

If ice is not used often, old cubes will become

cloudy and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin

periodically and wash it in lukewarm water,

Move feeler arm to OFF (up) position when:

o the home water supply is to be off for several hours,

o the ice storage bin is to be removed for a period

of time,

• going away on vacation. (Also turn off the valve in

the water supply line to the refrigerator°)

if this is your first icemaker, you will hear

occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar, They

are normal ice-making sounds and are not cause

for concern.

A water filter accessory kit to help purify off-tasting

incoming water and a water supply accessory kit

to help connect the icemaker to the cold water

line are optional at extra cost--see page 15,
