Once Your Icemaker andDispenser Are in OperationThrow away the first few batchesof ice cubes (16 or 24 cubes). Thiswill flush away any impurities inthe water line. Do the same thingafter vacations or extended periodswhen ice isn’t used.Discard the first six glassfuls ofwater in the kitchen sink. This willeliminate the slight “plastic” tastetemporarily imparted to the waterby the water reservoir.Keep ice level to keep icemakerproductive. Cubes ejected into anempty storage bin will pile upclose to the icemaker and push thefeeler arm up to the OFF positionprematurely when the bin is onlypartially fulI. Open the ice accessdoor, reach in, level the cubes byhand and icemaking will resume.Keeping cubes distributed evenlywill allow the icemaker to produceenough ice to fill the bin to itsmaximum capacity.Under certain rare circumstances,ice cubes may be discolored,usually appearing with a ~n-bluish hue. The cause of thisunusual discoloration isapparently due to a combinationof factors such m certaincharacteristics of local waters,household plumbing and theaccurrndation of copper s~ts inan inactive water supply linewhich feeds the icemaker.Continued consumption of suchdiscolored ice cubes may beinjurious to heahh.
