Ice & Chilled Water Dispenser (continued)
Once YourIcemaker and
Dispenser Are in Operation
Throw away the first few batches
of ice cubes (16 or 24 cubes). This
will flush away any impurities in
the water line. Do the same thing
after vacations or extended 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.
Keep ice level to keep icemaker
productive. Cubes ejected into an
empty storage bin will pile up close
to the icemaker and push the feeier
arm up to the OFF position
prematurely when the bin is only
partially full. Open the ice access
door, reach in, level the cubes by
hand and icemaking will resume.
Keeping cubes distributed evenly
will allow the icemaker to produce
enough ice to fdl the bin to its
maximum capacity.
Caution:
Under certain rare circumstances,
ice cubes may be discolored,
usually appearing with a green-
bluish hue. The cause of this
unusual discoloration is
apparentlydue to a combination
of factors such ascertain
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 such
discoloration is observed,
discard the ice cubes and
contactyour GE Factory Service
Center or an authorized

Caution: Never put fingers or other objects into the
ice crusher discharge opening.
When Dispensing Ice...
Some crushed ice may be
dispensed even though you
selected CUBES. This happens
occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get channeled to the
crusher.
Sometimes a mound of snow will
form on the door in the ice chute.
This condition is normal, and
usually occurs when you have
dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.
The snow will eventually evaporate.
When Dispensing Water...
The water system provides
approximately six successive
6-ounce glassfuls—after which
several hours must be allowed for
replenished water reservoir supply
to cool. You probably will not drain
all the chilled 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 chilled, not
iced. For colder water, simply add
crushed ice or cubes before
dispensing water.
