Once Your lcemaker & Dispenser
are in Operation
Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes ( 16 or 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.
To clean out the line, pour the first six glassfuls of water in the
kitchen sink The first water through the system picks up a
slight "plastic" taste from the water tubing
To make sure the bin fills with ice, level the cubes
occasionally.
When cubes fall into the bin they may pile up
close to the icemaker and push the feeler arm to the STOP
position before the bin gets futl Keeping the cubes level
allows the icemaker to fill the bin_
Caution:
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually appearing with a greenbluish color
The cause of this unusual discoloration isapparently due
to a combination of factors such as certain characteristics
of Iocat waters, househoJd 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
contact your Sears Service Center
