AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER (continued)
ACAUTION
* 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 (about 24
cubes). 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 crystai 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 coven
* if ice or water dispenses 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 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.
