DOWN to make ice automatically UP to shut off the ice maker
IMPORTANT: Do not turn ice maker on until you connect it to the water suppfy.
lIf you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to shut off the ice maker. When you replace the bin, push it in all the way and lower the ice maker signal arm to the ON position.
lGood water quality is important for good ice quality. Try to avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt from a maffunctioning softener) can damage the ice maker rnokl and lead to poor ice qualii. lf you cannot avoid a softened water supply, make sure the water soft- ener is operating property and is well maintained.
