Caution:
Under rare circumstances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually with a green-bluish color.
This unusual discoloration is apparently due to
several 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 use of such discolored ice cubes may
be injurious to health. If such discoloration is
observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your
local
dealer or authorized local service agent.
the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually
occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.
