IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory
with the wire signal arm in the ON position
(side mounted) or with the switch turned
ON (rear mounted). To ensure proper
function of your ice maker, hook up water
supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF
by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks
and locks in the UP position (side mounted)
or turn the On/Off switch to the Off (0)
position (rear mounted). If the ice maker is
not turned off and the water supply is not
connected, the water valve will make a loud
chattering noise.
