After the unit is connected to an active

household cold water line, fill and throw

out the first 10-14 eight-ounce glasses

of water. This will cleanse the lines of

impurities.

Water taste and odor,

There are many variableswhichcan

affect the taste and odor properties of

the water that is being dispensedfrom

your Amana Ice 'N Water model

such as:

1. Iron and other mineral deposits nor-

mally found in water.

2. Type of tubing (copper, galvanized,

plastic, etc.) used in the household

water supply system as well as the

type of tubing used to connect your

unit to your household water supply

3. Water has been left standing unused

in the storage reservoir and/or water

supply line for a long length of time.

To minimize taste and odor problems,it

is recommended that the following

steps be taken:

1. ThorOughly rinse out the system

after it has been connected to the

household water supply.This can be

accomplished by throwing away the

first 10-14 eight-ounce glasses of

water that are obtained from the unit.

2. If the water dispensing system has

not been used for an extended time,

the entire water reservoir and system

should be flushed, as instructed

above. This will ensure a fresh sup-

ply of water at all times.

If the above suggestions do not entirely

eliminate an undesirable taste or odor

condition inyour water, your problem is

most likely a water problem. It is recom-

mended that you contact your local

water treatment company for its spe-

cialized kind of help in solving your

problem.

How The Water Dispenser Works

The water reservoir is located in the

refrigerator behind the hi-humidity com-

partment or crisper pan, depending on

the model you have. important Note:

DO NOT REMOVE THE STYROFOAM

OR PLASTIC COVER. The water line to

the dispenser bar is routed in a special

way to prevent freeze-ups. The water

dispensing lever energizes the water

line solenoid to add water to the water

reservoir. See Figure 34.
