(on icemaker_equipped models)

operated before water is
connected to the icemaker,
keep the icemaker feeler arm
in the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has
been connected to the
water supply and the
water has been turned on,
position the freezer shelf for

multi-position shelf should be in the 6th slots up from the
bottom of the track; the 2-position shelf should be in the
_ower position Then move the ice storage bin into place
d
move the feeler arm to the

automatically fill with water

temperature, and first cubes

hours. When cubes are

will continue until the feeler arm senses that there are
enough cubes in the bin and halts the operation
temporarily Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of
the feeler arm
For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with
your hand occasionally.
Once your icemaker is in operation, throw away
the first few batches of ice cubes. This wilt flush away
any impurities in the water line Do the same thing after
vacations or long periods when ice isn't used
CAUTION: Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes
may be discolored, usually appearing with o green-
bluish color_ This unusual discoloration is apparently due
to a combination of factors such as certain characteristics
of local waters, household p_umbing 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 iniurious to health If your
ice cubes are discolored, discard them and contact your
Sears Service Center.
Move feeler arm to STOP (up) position when:
• thehome water supply isto be off for several hours
* the ice storage bin isto Be removed for a period of time.
- going away on vacation (Also turn off the valve in the
wafer supply tine to the refrigerator..)
if ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy
and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically
and wash it in lukewarm water.
If this is your first icemaker, you will hear occasional
sounds that may be unfamiliar. They ore normal ice-
making sounds and are not cause for concern.
Ice Trays (on models without automatic icemaker)
To release ice cubes, turn the tray upside down,
hold itover a container, and twist both ends
For only one or two ice
cubes, leave thetray
right-side up, twist both
ends slightly, and remove
as many cubes as you want.
Wash ice trays in lukewarm water only. Do not
put them in an automatic dishwasher.
