after cooling to freezing temperature, and first cubes normally freeze after several hours. When cubes are solidly frozen, they will be ejected from the mold into the

ice storage bin by means of a sweeper arm lcemaking 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 will 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 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
