Installation Instructions

Prepare the Water System

Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly
cleaned.
1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The On/Off switch is located on the top right side
of the freezer compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown.
NOTE: Make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal position.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfec-
tion before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters
that may contain filterable cysts.
2. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it
for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dis-
pensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for
use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the switch to the ON (left) position. See the
Use & Care Guide for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.
