To Dispense Ice and Water

Once your icemaker is in operation, throw

away the first few batches of ice cubes. This wi!l

flush away any impurities in the water line, 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 wil! 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 tine which feeds the icemakero 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 or CRUSHED°

For water, simply position container beneath words "CHILLED WATER'.'

Grip container gently near the rim and press rim firmly against ice or water 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. 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 wilt 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 normal°

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 spill

shelf and its grille regularly--seepage 12.

If ice Clumps Form in Storage Bin o,_

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.

If ice is not used often, old cubes will become

cloudy and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water,

Move feeler arm to OFF (up) position when:

o the home water supply is to be off for several hours,

o the ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time,

going away on vacation. (Also turn off the valve in the water supply line to the refrigerator°)

if this is your first icemaker, you will hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar, They

are normal ice-making sounds and are not cause for concern.

A water filter accessory kit to help purify off-tasting incoming water and a water supply accessory kit to help connect the icemaker to the cold water line are optional at extra cost--see page 15,
