Using the optional automatic ice maker

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, or if you plan to add one later (con- tact the dealer for ice maker kit number), here are a few things you should know.

l The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm. 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 supply.

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.

l Good 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 malfunctioning softener) can damage the ice maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If you cannot avoid a softened water supply, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained.
