Sears 53071 - Manual (Page 10)

Once Your Icemaker & Dispenser
Are in Operation
Throw awoy fhe first few batches of ice cubes (ló 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
To clean out the line, pour the first six glassfuls of water in the
kitchen sink. The first water through the system picks up a
slight "plastic" taste from the water tubing
To make sure the bin fills with ice, leve! the cubes
occasionally. When cubes fall into the bin they may pile up
dose to the icemoker and push the feeler arm to the STOP
position before the bin gets full Keeping the cubes level
allows the icemoker to fill the bin
Caution:
Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually appeortng 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 Sears Service Center
