Icernakingwill continueuntilthe
feeler arm senses a sufficient
accumulationof ice cubes in the
storagebin and halts the operation
temporarily.For maximum ice
storage, level the stored cubes with
your hand occasionally.Be sure
nothing interferes with the swingof
the feeler arm.
The icemaker ejects cubes in
groups of eight and it is normal for
severalcubes to bejoined together.
Once your icemaker is in
operation, throw away the first
few batches of ice cubes. This will
flush awayany impurities in the
waterline. Do the same thing afier
vacationsor extended periods when
:ceisn'tused.
Under cetiain rare
circumstances, ice cubes may
be discolored,usuallyappearing
with a green-bluish hue. The
causeoftis unusualdiscoloration
is apparentlydueto 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
~iscoloration is observed,
