Once Your Icemaker
The icemaker ejects cubes in
groups of eight. Throw away first
few batches (16 or 24 cubes). This
flushes away impurities in the water
line. Do the same after vacations or
extended periods when ice isn't used.
Caution:
Under rare circumstances,
ice cubes may be discolored,
usually with a green-bluish
hue. This unusti discoloration
is apparently due to several
factors, such as cemin
characteristics of local waters,
household plumbing, and the
accumulation of copper salts in
an inactive water supply line
which feeds the icemaker.
Continued use of such
discolored ice cubes may be
injurious to health. If such
discoloration is observed,
discard the ice cubes and
contact your Hotpoint Factory
Service Center or an authorized
