Once Your Icemaker and
Dispenser Are in Operation
Throw away the first few batches
of ice cubes (16 or 24 cubes). This
will flush away any impurities in
the water line. Do the same thing
after vacations or extended periods
when ice isn’t
used.
Discard the first six
of
water in the kitchen sink. This will
eliminate the slight “plastic” taste
temporarily imparted to the water
by the water reservoir.
Keep ice level to keep icemaker
productive. Cubes ejected into an
empty storage bin will pile up
close to the icemaker and push the
feeler arm up to the OFF position
prematurely when the bin is only
partially
Open the ice access
door, reach in, level the cubes by
hand and
will resume.
Keeping cubes distributed evenly
will allow the icemaker to produce
enough ice to fill the bin to its
maximum capacity.
Under certain rare circumstances,
ice cubes may be discolored,
usually appearing with a
bluish
cause of this
unusual discoloration is
apparently
to a combination
factors
certain
characteristics of local waters,
household plumbing and
of copper
in
an inactive water supply line
which feeds the icemaker.
Continued consumption of such
discolored ice
may be

If such
discoloration is observed, discard

To Dispense Ice and Water
●
For ice, set selector switch to
CUBED or CRUSHED. For water,
simply position glass beneath the
word “WATER.”
●
Grip glass or other container
gently near the rim and press rim
firmly against ice or water
dispenser cradle.
Caution: Never put fingers or
other objects into the ice
crusher discharge opening.
When Dispensing Ice...
Some crushed may be
dispensed even though
you
selected CUBED. 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.
When Dispensing Water...
The water system provides
approximately six successive
6-ounce
which
several hours must be allowed for
replenished water reservoir supply
to cool. You probably will not
drain all the water from the
reservoir on a single occasion.
The first glass of water dispensed
may be warmer than the
following ones. This is normal.
Dispensed water is cool, not iced.
For colder water, simply add
crushed ice or cubes before
dispensing water.
