HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker
(continued)
CAUTION
The first ice and water dispensed 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.
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 filter and 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.
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 filling 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 affected.
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
off the water supply and contact a qualified
service center.
When You Should Turn the
Icemaker Off
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.
