Once
Your Icemaker and
DispenserAm in Opemtion
Throw away the first few batches of
ice cubes (16or 24 cubes). This
will flush away any impurities in
the water line. Do the same thing
after vacations or extended periods
when ice isn't used.
o
Discard the first half dozen
glassfuls of water in the kitchen
sink. This will eliminate the
slight "plastic" taste temporarily
imparted to the water by the water
reservoir.
Keep ice level to keep icemaker
productive.
Cubes ejected into an
empty storage bin will pile up close
to the icemaker and push the feeler
arm up to the OFF position
prematurely when the bin is only
partially full. Open the ice access
door, reach in, level the cubes by
hand and ice-making will resume.
Keeping cubes distributed evenly
..
will allow the icemaker to produce
enough ice to fill the bin to its
maximum capacity.
Caution:
Under certain rare
circumstances, ice cubes
may be discolored, usually
appearing with a green-bluish
hue. The cause of 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 which feeds
the icemaker. Continued
consumption of such discolored
ice cubes may be injurious to
health. If such discoloration is
observed, discard the ice cubes
and contactyour General Electric
Factory Service Center or an
authorized Customer Care"
servicer.
To Dispense Ice and Water
For ice, touch CUBES or
CRUSHED pad. For water, simply
position glass beneath words
"CHILLED WATER."
Grip glass or other container
gently near 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
touched
the CUBES pad. This
happens occasionally when a few
cubes inadvertently get diverted 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.
When Dispensing Water...
The water system provides
approximately six successive
6-ounce glassfuls.
After this,
several hours must be allowed for
the new water reservoir supply to
cool. Youprobably 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 crushed ice or cubes before
dispensing water.
