The ice cube mold will |

automatically | fill with water |
| |
after cooling | to freezing |
| |
temperature, and first cubesd |
| ||
normally freeze after several |
| ||
hours. When | cubes are |
|
solidly frozen, they wilt be ejected from the mold into the
ice storage bin by means of a sweeper arm.. Icemaklng will continue until the feeler arm senses that there are
enough cubes in the bin and halts the operation
temporarily Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm
For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with your hand occasionally.
Once your icemaker is in operation, throw away the first few batches of ice cubes. This wilt flush away any impurities in the water line Do the same thing after vacations or long periods when ice isn'tused
CAUTION: Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with o green-
bluish color_ This unusual discoloration is apparently due to a combination of factors such as certain characteristics
of local waters, household p_umbing 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 iniurious to health If your ice cubes are discolored, discard them and contact your Sears Service Center.
Move feeler arm to STOP (up) position when:
•the home water supply is to be off for several hours
* the ice storage bin is to Be removed for a period of time.
-going away on vacation (Also turn off the valve in the wafer supply tine to the refrigerator..)
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.
If this is your first icemaker, you will hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar. They ore normal ice- making sounds and are not cause for concern.
Ice Trays (on models without automatic icemaker)
To release ice cubes, turn the tray upside down, hold it over a container, and twist both ends
For only one or two ice
cubes, leave the tray
Wash ice trays in lukewarm water only. Do not put them in an automatic dishwasher.
