USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
The first ice produced may include particles or odor
•
from the water supply line or the water tank.
Throw away the first few batches of ice. This is also
•
necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a
long time.
If discolored ice is produced, check the water supply.
•
If the problem continues, contact a Sears or other
qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water
until the problem is corrected.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
•
Automatic Shut Off Arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shut
•
Off Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for some cubes to be stuck together.
•
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
•
cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O)
When the water supply will be shut off for several
•
hours.
When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two
•
minutes.
When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
•
NOTE:
The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the
OFF
position.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills
•
with water. If the power switch is in the
ON (I)
position,
it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to
water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to
OFF (O)
.
NOTE:
Keeping the power switch in the
ON (I)
position
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
•
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to
OFF (O)
and shut off
the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE:
The ice bin should be emptied anytime the
icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the
OFF (O)
position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have
a qualified technician drain the water supply system to
prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused
by ruptured water lines or connections.
