Ice & Water Dispenser 

(continued)

Once Your Icemaker and

Dispenser Are in Operation

Throw away the first 

 batches

 ice cubes (16 or 24 cubes). This

will 

 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 

 

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 

 to the OFF position

prematurely when the bin is only
partially full. Open the ice access
door, reach in, level the cubes by
hand 

 

 will resume.

Keeping cubes distributed evenly

will allow the icemaker to produce
enough ice to 

 the bin to its

maximum capacity.

Caution:

Under certain rare
circumstances, ice cubes
may be discolored, usually
appearing with a green-bluish
hue. The cause of this unusual
discoloration is apparently
due to a combination of
factors such as 
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 such
discoloration is observed,
discard the ice cubes and
contact your 
Factory Service Center or
an authorized Customer

 Servicer,

When Dispensing Water...

The water system provides
approximately six successive
6-ounce 

 which

several hours must be allowed 
replenished 

 

 

to 

 You 

 will

 water from
