Once your icemaker is in operation, throw
away the first few batches of ice cubes. This will
flush away any impurities in the water liner 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 will 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 line that feeds the icemaker_
Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes
may be injurious to health° If your ice cubes are
discolored, discard them and contact your Sears
Service Center,
ToDispense Ice and Water
For ice, set selector
switch to CUBED ICEor
CRUSHED ICE.
For water, simply
position container
beneath word "WATER'.'
Grip container gently near
the rim and press rim firmly
against 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 ICE. 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.
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 norma!
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 spitl
shelf and its grille regularly--see page t2_
If ice Clumps Form in Storage Bin...
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 /f
supporting it at front and /
back.
TOreplace bin, slide the bin back until the tab on
the bin locks into the slot in the shelf.

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:
* the home water supply is to be off for several hours°
e the ice storage bin is to be removed for a period
of timer
* 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.
I 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.
