position Then move the
ice storage bin into place

move the feeler arm to the

The ice cube mold will
automatically fill with water
after cooling to freezing temperature, and first cubes
normally freeze after several hours. When cubes are
solidly frozen, they will be ejected from the mold into the
ice storage bin by means of a sweeper arm lcemaking
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 will 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 a
green-bluish hue 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 your ice cubes are
discolored, discard them and contact your Sears
Service Center
Move feeler arm to OFF (up) position when:
• the home water supply is to be off for several hours
• the ice storage bin is to be removed for a period
of time
• going away on vacation. (Also turn off the valve in the
water supply line 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 are
normal ice-making sounds and are not cause for
concern
ice Trays

To release ice cubes, turn the tray upside down,
hold it over a container, and twist both ends_
For only one or two ice
cubes, leave the tray right-
side up, twist both ends
slightly, and remove as
many cubes as you want
Wash ice trays in lukewarm water ontyo Do not put
them in an automatic dishwasher
