Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually appearing
with a green-bluish hue. The
causeof this unusual discolor-
ation is apparently due to a
combination of factors such as
certain characteristics of local
waters, household plumbing
andthe 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. {f such dis-

to completely cool down.
@Large amounts of food placed in refrigerator to be cooied or frozen.
