UP to shut off the ice maker

IMPORTANT: Do not turn ice maker on until it is connected to the water supply.

instructions for ice maker water supply hook up are attached to the back of the refrigerator cabinet.

l The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker changes the size of the cubes.

l Good water quality is important for good ice quality. Try to avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply.

If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure that the water softener is well maintained and operating properly.
