allow about 24 hours for
the freezer compartment to cool down to the proper
ice-making temperature.
Once Your
Icemaker
and 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 vacations or
extended periods when ice isn’t used.
Discard the first six
glassfuls
of water in the kitchen
sink. This
will
eliminate the slight “plastic” taste
temporarily imparted to the water by the water reservoir.
Keep ice level to keep icemaker productive. Cubes
ejected into an empty storage bin
will
pile up

to
the
icemaker and push the feeler arm up to the STOP
position prematurely when the bin is only partially full.
Open the ice access door, reach in, level the cubes by
hand and
icemaking
will resume. Keeping cubes
distributed evenly will allow the
icemaker
to produce
enough ice to fill the bin to its maximum capacity.
To Dispense Ice and Water
For ice, set selector
switch to CUBED,
CRUSHED or
CHILLED WATER.
Caution:
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may
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 local
waters, household plumbing and the
accumulation of copper salts in an inactive water
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
GE Factory Service Center or an authorized
