Sears 71570, 71579 If ice Clumps Form in Storage Bin, Move Feeler Arm to OFF Up Position When

When cubes are solidly frozen, they will be ejected from the mold into the ice storage bin by means of a sweeper arm° icemaking 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°

When water supply has been connected to the icemaken remove the ice storage bin, move the icemaker feeler arm to the ON (down) position, and replace the bin.

The ice cube mold automatically fills with water after cooling to freezing temperatures. First cubes normally freeze after several hours.

NOTE: With a newly-installed refrigerator, allow about 24 hours for freezer compartment to cool down to proper icemaking temperatures.

Once your icemaker is in operation, throw

away the first few batches of ice cubes. This will flush away any impurities in the water lineo 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 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 which 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

Set selector switch to CUBED ICE or

CRUSHED ICE.

Grip container gently near the rim and press rim firmly against ice 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.

To stop dispensing, release pressure from cradle and withdraw slowly to catch last bits of ice,

Some slight dripping may occur following

dispensing of crushed ice. If excessive, wipe the spill

dry immediatety_

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

shelf and its grille regularly--see page 12.

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.

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 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,
