HOWTO USE 29
Aufomafic Icemaker
(confinued)
"-Z_ CAUTION
• The first ice and water dispensed may
include particles or odor from the water
supply line or the water tank.
Throw away the first few batches of ice.
This is also necessary if the refrigerator has
not been used for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other items in
the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling.
Doing so may damage the icemaker or the
containers may burst.
If discolored ice is dispensed, check the
water filter and water supply. If the problem
continues, contact a Sears or other qualified
service center. Do not use the ice or water
until the problem is corrected.
Keep children away from the dispenser.
Children may play with or damage the
controls.
The ice passage may become blocked with
frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the
frost that accumulates by removing the ice
bin and clearing the passage with a rubber
spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help
prevent frost buildup.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to
collect ice. Such containers may chip or
break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it
with water or other beverages. Splashing
may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass
that already contains liquid.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally
narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice
passage and refrigerator performance may
be affected.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from
the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the
outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of
the ice door and passage.
• Never remove the dispenser cover.
• If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn
off the water supply and contact a qualified
service center.
