_, CAUTIONS
• The first ice and water may include particles or
odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24
cubes).
• This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not
been used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other foods 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
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 also become blocked with
frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost
that accumulates.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect
ice. Such glasses or containers may break, and
glass fragments could be 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 you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly,
turn off the water supply and contact Sears Home
Service at 1-800-4 MY HOME.
WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO OFF (O)
• When the water supply will be shut off for several
hours.
• When the ice bin is removed for more than a
minute or two.
When the refrigerator will not be used for several
days.
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied when the
icemaker on/off switch is turned to the Off (0)
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 (0).
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 (0) and shut
off the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the
icemaker on/off switch is turned to the Off (0)
position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due to
flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.
