NOTE: With a newly-	m in

installed refrigerator,

allow about 24 hours for

the freezer compartment to cool down to the proper ice-making temperature.

Once Your Icemaker and Dispenser are in Operation

Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes

(16 or 24 cubes). This 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 up to the STOP 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 cefiin rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a green- bluish color. The cause of this unusual discoloration is apparently du~ to a combination of factors such as cefin characteristics of local waters, household plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water supply line which feeds tie icernaker. Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes maybe injurious to health. If such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your GE Factory Service Center or an authorized Customer Care” Servicer.
