_b, CAUTIONS
• The first ice and water may include particles or odor from
the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20
pieces) and purge for 2 minutes that are dispensed after
refrigerator installation.
• This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been
used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other foods in the ice bank
for the purpose of rapid cooling.
Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers
may burst.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and
water supply. If the problem continues, contact a Sears
or other qualified service center. Do not use the ice or
water until the problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may
play with or damage the controls.
• The ice passage may also become blocked with frost if
only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that
accumulates.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such glasses or containers may break, and glass
fragments could be in the ice.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or
other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is
dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep.
Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator
performance may be affected.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.
A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from
dispensing.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door
and passage.
• Never remove the icemaker cover.
• If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly, turn
off the water supply and contact a Sears Service Center.
Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME
(24 hours a day, 365 days a
year) and select the option to locate an authorized
servicer.
WHEN YOU SHOULD
SET THE ICEMAKER
POWER SWITCH TO O (OFF)
• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
• When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a
minute or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker
on/off switch is turned to the OFF position.
NORMAL
SOUNDS
YOU MAY HEAR
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills
with water. If the power switch is in the I (on) position, it
will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water.
To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O (off).
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker
on/off switch is turned to the OFF position.
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position
before the water line is connected can damage the
icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.
PREPARING
FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and shut off the
water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker
on/off switch is turned to the OFF position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have
a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to
prevent serious property damage due to flooding from
ruptured water lines or connections.
