Sears 53078, 53071 Once fourIcemaker & Dispenser, To Stop Dispensing, To Remove Ice Storage Bin

Once 'fourIcemaker & Dispenser

Are in Operation

Throw away the first few botches of ice cubes (] 6 or 24 cubes) Thiswill flush away any impurities in the water line

Do the same thing after vacations or extended periods when ice isn'tused

To clean out the line, pour the first six glassfuls of water in the kitchen sink. The first water through the system picks up a slight "plastic" taste from the water tubing

TO make sure the bin fills with ice, level the cubes occasionally, When cubes fall into the bin they may pile up close to the icemaker and push the feeler arm to the STOP

position before the bin gets full Keeping the cubes level allows the icemaker to fill the bin

Caution:

Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish color

The cause of 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 Iine which feeds the icemaker Continued consumption of suchdiscobred ice cubes may be injurious to health. If suchdiscobration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your Sears Service Center

bits of ice or drops of water There may be some dripping after dispensing of crushed ice or water if there is a lot of dripping, the spill should be wiped dry right away.
