Automatic Icemaker
(on icemaker-equipped model)

included in both the literature pack and on the back
of the refrigerator.
If your refrigeralor is
operofed before water
is connected to the
icemakerg keep the
icemaker feeler arm in
the OFF (up) position.
When the refrigerator
has been connected to
the wofer supply and
the water has been
turned oOj position the freezer shelf for icemaking.
Top lugs on the multi-position shelf should be in the
6th slots up from the bottom of the track; the 2-position
shelf should be in the
lower position. Then move
the ice storage bin into
place under the icemaker
and move the feeler arm
to the ON (down) position.
The ice cube mold will
automatically fill with water
after cooling to freezing
temperature, and first cubes normally freeze after
several hours.
When cubes ore solidly frozen, they will be ejected
from the mold into the ice storage bin by means of
a sweeper arm. Icemaking 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 moixlmuiii ice storage, level the stored cubes
with your hand occasionally.
Once your icemaker is in operation, throw away
the flist 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
certoin 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 (op) position when:
® the home water supply Is to be oft 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 (on model without automatic icemaker)
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.
Wosh ice trays in lukewarm water only. Do not
put them in an automatic dishwasher.
Automatic Icemaker Accessory Kit
{optional at extra cost)
If your refrigerator did not come already equipped
with an automatic icemaker, you may add one—
contact your Sears store or Sears Service Center.
Water Filter Accessory
{optlonol at extra cost)
Your ice cubes can only be as fresh-tasting as the
water that produces them. That's why it's a good
idea to purify the water with a water filter.
The water filter is an optional part at extra cost and
is available from your Sears Service Center. Order
Filter No. 978488 and it may be installed in minutes
when attached to the inlet water tube connection.
Water Supply Accessor y Kit
{optional at extra cost)
A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shut-off
valve, fittings and instructions needed to connect the
icemaker to your cold water line is also available
from your Sears store or Sears Service Center.
