Once Your Icemaker and
Dispenser Are in Operation
Throw away the first 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
eliminate the slight “plastic” taste
temporarily imparted to the water
by the water reservoir.
Keep ice 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 full. Open the ice access
door, reach in, level the cubes by
hand and
will resume.
Keeping cubes distributed evenly
will
the icemaker to produce
enough ice to fill the bin to its
maximum capacity.
Caution:
Under certain rare circumstances,
ice
cubes may be discolored,
usually appearing with a
bluish hue. The cause of
unusual discoloration is apparently
due to a combination of factors
such as certain characteristics of
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
such
discoloration is observed, discard
the ice cubes and contact
your
Factory Service Center
or an authorized Customer
Servicer.
