Once Your Icemaker & Dispenser
are in Operation
Throw away the firs1few batches of ice cubes (t6or 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
To clean out the line, pour the firstsix glassfuls of water in the
kitchen sink The firstwater through the systempicks up a
slight "plastic" taste from the water tubing
To make sure the bin fills with ice, level the cubes
occasionally, When cubes fall into the bin they may pile up
close to the icemaker and pushthe feeler arm to the STOP
position before the bin gets full. Keeping the cubes level
allows the icemaker to fill the bin
To Stop Dispensing
Releasepressure from the pad and
wait a few seconds to catch thelast
bits of ice or drops of water. There
may be some dripping after
dispensing of crushed ice or water
If there isa lot of dripping, the spill
should be wiped dry right away

because it isnot self draining-pour it in the kitchen sink The
shelf and itsgrille should be cleaned regularly Presshere to
remove grill
according to Care and Cleaning instructions.
Thegrille is easily removed by
pressing on the back right corner
Caution:
Under certain rare circumstances,icecubes may be
discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluishcotor
Thecause of lhisunusualdiscoloration isapparently due to
a combination of factors suchascertain characteristicsof
local walers, household plumbing and theaccumulation of
copper saltsin an inactivewater supply line which feeds
the icemaker Continued consumption of suchdiscolored
ice cubes may be injurious to health. If suchdiscoloration is
observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your Sears
Service Center
If Ice Clumps Form in the Storage Bin__
Theicemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight, and it is
normal for several cubes to be joined together. However, if

storage bin and can clog the dispenser If this happens:

dumps thal you can t break up

together

(on some models} or WATER
o Grip the glass or other container near the rim and press
the rim against the center of the pad
When Dispensing Ice:
o Some crushed ice may be
dispensed even though you
selected CUBES. Thishappens
occasionally when a few cubes
get channeled to the crusher
o Sometimes a mound of snow will
form on the door in the ice chute.
This condition isnormal, and usually occurs when you
have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly The snow wil!
eventually evaporate
When Dispensing Water:

may be warmer than the following
ones,.This isnormal.,
