HOW TO USE 27

Automatic Icemaker (continued)

CAUTION

yThe first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.

yThrow away the first few batches of ice (about 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.

yNever store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.

yIf discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a Sears or other qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.

yKeep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls.

yThe ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost buildup.

yNever use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.

yDispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dis- pensed into a glass that already contains liquid.

yNever use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator perfor- mance may be affected.

yKeep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.

yTo avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door and passage.

yNever remove the dispenser cover.

yIf ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off the water supply and contact a qualified service center.

When You Should Turn the Icemaker Off

yWhen the water supply will be shut off for several hours.

yWhen the ice bin is removed for more than one or two minutes.

yWhen the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied when the icemaker on/ off switch is turned to the OFF position.

Normal Sounds You May Hear

yThe icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to OFF (O).

NOTE

Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker.

yYou will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

Preparing For Vacation

Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker on/off switch is turned to the OFF (O) position.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.
