Use and Care
Instructions

For Your Safety
Do not place fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking
mechanism while the refrigerator
i s plugged in. This will help
protect you from possible injury.
It will also prevent interference
with moving parts of the ejector
mechanism and the heating
element that releases the cubes.
Under certain rare circumstances,
ice cubes may be discolored,
usually appearing with a green-
bluish hue. The cause of this
unusual discoloration is apparently
a combination of fictors such as
certain characteristics o f 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 discoloration is observed,
discard the ice cubes and contact
the dealer from whom the icemaker
or refrigerator
was
purchased, a
Factory Service Center, or an
authorized Customer Care@
servicer.

The feeler arm (Fig. 3) senses
when bin is
full
and signals
icemaker to stop ejecting more
cubes. However, the mold has been
refilled and cubes frozen so the
new supply is ready when needed.
As
soon as ice is removed from the
bin, the feeler arm signals that
more is needed. Icemaker resumes
operation by ejecting ready-and-
waiting frozen cubes.
