Good water quality is important for good ice quality
It is not recommended that the ice maker be con-
nected to a softened water supply. Water softener
chemicals such as salt from a malfunctioning soft-
ener can damage the ice maker mold and lead to
poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, then it is important that the water soft-
ener be well maintained and operating properly.
