position.
Ice cube mold will automatically
fill with water after cooling to
freezing temperature, and first
cubes normally freeze after several
hours. When cubes are solidly
frozen, they will be ejected from
the mold into the ice storage bin by
means of a sweeper arm. Icemaking
will continue until the feeler arm
senses a sufficient accumulation of
ice cubes in the storage bin and
halts the operation temporarily.
For maximum ice storage, level
the stored cubes with your hand
occasionally. Be sure nothing
interferes with the swing of the
feeler arm.

Once your icemaker is in oper-
ation, throw away the first few
batches of ice 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.
caution:
Under certain rare circums-
tances, 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
m
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
Carecgservicer.
Move icemaker feeler arm to
OFF (up) position when:
~ home water supply is to be off for
several hours.
e ice
storage bin is to be
removed
for a period of time.
~ going away on vacation, at which
time you should also turn off the
valve in the water supply line to
your refrigerator.
If ice is used infrequerrtly9old cubes
will become cloudy and taste stale.
Empty ice storage bin periodically
and wash it in lukewarm water.
When a iarge supply of ice wiil
be needed, make an extra supply
ahead of time. Empty bin, put cubes
in plastic bags or containers and
store in the freezer compartment
until the bin refills.
If this is your first icernaker, you'll
hear occasional sounds that may be
unfamiliar. They are normal ice-
making sounds and are not cause
for concern.
