Automatic Icemaker and Ice & Water Dispenser (continued)
Once your icemaker isin operation, throw away the
first few batches of ice cubes. This will flush away any
impuritiesin 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 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 isapparently 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 which feeds
the icemaker. Continued consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injuriousto health. If your
ice cubes are discolored, discard them and contact your
Sears Service Center.
To Dispense Ice and Water
For ice, set selector switch to CUBED or CRUSHED.
For water, simply position container beneath word
"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 wiII 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 alt the 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 cool, not iced, For colder water,
simply add ice before dispensing water.
T_ostop dispensing, release pressure from cradFe 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, wipe the spi[I dry
immediately.
Do not pour water in spill shelf because itisnot self-
draining-pour it in the kitchen sink. Clean the spill shelf
and itsgrille regularly-see page 12._
If Ice Clumps Form in Storage Bin_..
If ice isnot 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.
If bin does not go all theway ___R0ta_,,_
back, remove it and rotate the
drive mechanism 1/4 turn..Then
push bin back again until the tab
on the bin locks into the slot in
the shelf, mechanism
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 STOP (up) position when:
the home water supply isto be off for several hours
the ice storage bin isto be removed Fora period of time,
going away on vacation. (Also turn off the valve in the
water supply line to the refrigerator.)
if this isyour 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 t5
