To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the
following:
•
Donotplacefingersorhands on the automatic ice making
mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will
help protect you from possible injury. It will also prevent
interference with moving parts of the ejector mechanism
and the heating element that releases the cubes.
•
Undercertainrarecircumstances,icecubesmaybe
discolored, usually appearing with a green-bluish hue. The
cause of this unusual discoloration can be 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 which feeds the ice maker.
Continued consumption of such discolored ice cubes may
be injurious to health. If such discoloration is observed,
discard the ice cubes and contact your dealer to purchase
and install a water line filter.
