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 futl 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 greenbluish color

The cause of this unusual discoloration isapparently due to a combination of factors such as certain characteristics

of Iocat waters, househoJd 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 such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your Sears Service Center
