Ice &
Wat÷ Dispcns®
(continued)
Once Your Icemaker
and
Dispenser
Are in Operation
Throw away the first few batches
of ice cubes (10 or 15 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 half dozen 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 prema-
turely 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 circum-
stances, ice cubes may be
discolored,
usually appearing
with a green-bluish
hue, The
cause of this unusual discolor-
ation 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 dis-
coloration
is observed, discard
the ice cubes and contact your
General Electric Factory Service
Center or an authorized Customer

To Dispense
Ice and Water
= For ice, touch CUBES or
i
CRUSHED
pad For water, simply
position glass beneath words

_,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 dis-
pensed even though you touched the
:i
CUBES pad. This happens occasion-
.....
ally when a few cubes inadvertently
get diverted to the crusher,
:'
Sometimes a mound of snow will
:i:: i::i
form on the door in the ice chute.
This condition
is normal, and usually
:::
occurs when you have dispensed
crushed ice repeatedly
The snow
wil! eventually
evaporate
When Dispensing
Water.,.
The water system provides approx-
imately six successive 8-ounce
glassfuls., After this, several hours
must be allowed for the new water
reservoir supply to cool You prob-
ably 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 will be cooler
than tap water but not as cold as
ice water,, For colder water, simply
add crushed ice or cubes before
dispensing water
