repeatedly• The snow will eventually evaporate•
Caution:
Under rare circumstances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually with a green-bluish color.
This unusual discoloration is apparently due to
several factors, such as certain characteristics

accumulation of copper salts in an inactive
water supply line that 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
local dealer or authorized local service agent.
