hours. When cubes are solidly

caution:
Under certain rare circums-
tances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually appearing
with a green-bIuish hue. The
cause of this unusual discolor-
ation is appmently 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 icernaker.
Continued consumption of such
discolored ice cubes may be
injurious -tohealth. If such dis-
colomtion is observed, discard
the ice cubes and contact your
