Sears 8EAIRS - Manual (Page 9)

Once Your Icemaker & Dispenser
are in Operation
Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes (16 or 24
cubes) This will flush away any impurities in the water line
Do the same thing after vacoHons or extended periods when
ice isn't used
To dean out the line, pour the first six glassfuls of water in the
kitchen sink,. The first water through the system picks up a
slight “plosHc" taste from the water tubing
To make sure the bin fiils with ice, level the cubes
occasionally. When cubes fait into the bin they moy pile up
dose to the icemaker and push the feeler arm to the STOP
position before the bin gets full Keeping the cubes level
ollowsthe icemaker to fill the bin.
Caution:
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes moy be
discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish color
The cause of this unusual discoloration is apparently due
to a combination of factors such as certain characteristics
of bcol waters, household plumbing and the
accumulation of copper salts in an inactive wafer 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 Sears Service Center,
