The
fi
rst ice and water dispensed may include particles
•
or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
Throw away the
fi
rst few batches of ice. This is also
•
necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a
long time.
Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice
•
bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may
damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.
If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water
fi
lter
•
and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a
Sears or other quali
fi
ed service center. Do not use the
ice or water until the problem is corrected.
Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may
•
play with or damage the controls.
The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only
•
crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates
by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with
a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help
prevent frost buildup.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
•
Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass
fragments in the ice.
Dispense ice into a glass before
fi
lling it with water
•
or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is
dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or
•
deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator
performance may be a
ff
ected.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.
•
A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice
from dispensing.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice
•
door and passage.
Never remove the dispenser cover.
•
If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn o
ff
the
•
water supply and contact Sears Home Service at
