Ice & Water Dispenser
Once Your Icemaker and
Dispenser Are in Operation
Throw away the first few batches
will flush away any impurities in
the water line. Do the same thing
after vacations or extended periods
when ice isn't used.
Discard the first six glassfuls of
water in the kitchen sink. This will
eliminate the slight "plastic" taste
temporarily imparted to the water
by the water reservoir.
Keep ice level to keep icemaker
productive. Cubes ejected into an
empty storage bin will pile up
close to the icemaker and push the
feeler arm
to the OFF position
prematurely when the bin is only
partially full. Open the ice access
door, reach in, level the cubes by
hand and icemaking will resume.
Keeping cubes distributed evenly
will allow the icemaker to produce
enough ice to fill the bin to its
maximum capacity.
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 ceflain
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
