After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must
be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as
possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position, Because of new
plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have
anodd flavor, Throw the ice away until the cubes made arefree of discoloration and
taste, Remember that water quality determines your ice quality, It is best to connect
