Ice & Chilled Water Dispenser (continued)
Once Your Icemaker and
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_
Discard the first six glassfuls of
water in the kitchen sink. This wilt
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 icemaking wil! resume.
Keeping cubes distributed evenly
will allow the icemaker to produce
enough ice to fill the bin to its
maximum capacity.

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
0f factors such as certain
characteristics of local waters,
household plumbing and the
accumulation of copper salts in
an inactive water st_pply 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

When Dispensing Ice...
Some crushed ice may be
dispensed even though you
selected CUBES, 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 Iepeatedly.
The snow will eventually evaporate

When Dispensing Water...
The water system provides
approximately six successive
6-ounce glassfuls--after which
several hours must be allowed for
replenished water reservoir supply
to cool • You probably 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.
