Caution:
Under certain rare
circumstances, ice cubes may
be discolored. usually appearing
with a green-bluish hue. The
cause of this unusual
discoloration 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 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
