Sears 52268 - Manual (Page 11)

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
Discard the first six glassfuls of water in the
kitchen sink. This will eliminate the slight "plastic"
taste temporarily imparted to the water by the
water reservoir.
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 that 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,
To Dispense Ice and Water
For ice, set selector
switch to CUBED ICE.
For waier, simply
position container
beneath word "WATER,"
Grip container gently near
the rim and press rim firmly
against dispenser cradle.
The water system provides approximately six
successive 6-ounce glassfuls, after which it takes
several hours for replenished water reservoir supply
to cool. You probably will not drain all the water from
the reservoir on a single occasion .
The first glass of water dispensed may be
warmer than the following ones- This is normal
Dispensed water is cool, not iced. For colder
water, simply add ice before dispensing water
To stop dispensing, release pressure from cradle
and withdraw slowly to catch last ice cubes or drops
of water.
Some slight dripping may occur following dispensing
of water If excessive, wipe the spill dry immediately
Do not pour water in spill shelf because it is not self­
draining—pour it in the kitchen sink. Cleon the spill shelf
and its grille regularly—see Care and Cleaning section,
If (ce Clumps Form in Storage Bin...
If ice is not used often, ice clumps can form in the
storage bin, resulting in temporary malfunction of
the dispenser mechanism. If this happens, remove
storage bin from freezer compartment, break up
ice clumps with fingertip pressure and discard
remaining clumps,
Replace bin before remaining cubes melt and
fuse together
To remove ice cube
storage bin, lift the left
corner to free the bin
from the shelf and pull
the bin straight out
while supporting it at
front and back.
To replace bin, slide the bin back until the tab on the bin
locks into the slot in the shelf.
If bin does not go all the way
back, remove it and rotate the
drive mechanism 1/4 turn,.
Then push bin back again until
the tab on the bin locks into the
slot in the shelf
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.
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 tn the
water supply line to the refrigerator,}
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,
A water filter accessory kit to help purify off-tasting
incoming water and a water supply accessory kit to
help connect the icemaker to the cold wafer line are
optional at extra cost—see Accessories section.
