Sears 51271, 51278 manual To Dispense Ice and Water, If ice Clumps Form in Storage Bin

Once your icemaker is in operation, throw

away the first few batches of ice cubes. This will

flush away any impurities in the water liner Do the same thing after vacations or long periods when ice isn'tused°

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.

CAUTION: Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish hue° 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 that feeds the icemaker_ Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes may be injurious to health° If your ice cubes are discolored, discard them and contact your Sears Service Center,

To Dispense Ice and Water

For ice, set selector switch to CUBED ICEor

CRUSHED ICE.

For water, simply

position container

beneath word "WATER'.'

Grip container gently near the rim and press rim firmly against dispenser cradle.

CAUTION: Never put fingers or other objects into the ice crusher discharge opening,

When dispensing ice, some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get channeled to the crusher.

Sometimes a mound of snow will form on the

door in the ice chute. This condition is normal, and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

The water system provides approximately six

successive 6-ounce glassfuls, after which it takes several hours for replenished water reservoir supply to cool. You probably will not drain all the chilled water from the reservoir on a single occasion.

The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the following ones. This is norma!

Dispensed water is chilled, not iced. For colder

water, simply add ice before dispensing water.

To stop dispensing, release pressure from cradle

and withdraw slowly to catch last bits of ice or drops of water.

Some slight dripping may occur following dispensing of crushed ice or chilled water, If excessive, wipe the spill dry immediately,

Do not pour water in spill shelf because it is not self- draining--pour it in the kitchen sink. Clean the spitl

shelf and its grille regularly--seepage t2_

If ice Clumps Form in Storage Bin...

If ice is not used often, ice clumps can form in the storage bin, resulting in temporary malfunction of the dispenser mechanism, If this happens, remove storage bin from freezer compartment, break up ice clumps with fingertip pressure and discard remaining clumps.

Replace bin before remaining cubes melt and fuse together.

To remove ice cube

storage bin, lift the left corner to free the bin

from the shelf and pull the
