4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the fi lter before
drinking or using the water from the refrigerator.
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To fl ush, press a
large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever.
Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after it is
fi lled, and then repeat.
5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker
make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time,
throw out the fi rst 1 or 2 buckets of ice the freezer
makes to ensure all impurities have been removed
from the water line.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable water
source.
If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut
off 1/4" of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a
snug, leak-free connection.

COMPLETING THE SET UP

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed in
place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the features
and functions of the appliance. By completing the
following steps, your refrigerator should be fully
operational.
1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate
location with reasonable clearance between it and
the wall. Refer to installation instructions in this
manual.
2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure the
interior light comes on when you open the doors.
3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer
will get slightly chilled and the motor will run
smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to the
temperatures you want.
4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a few
hours to reach the appropriate temperature. You
can store food and drinks in the refrigerator after
the temperature is suffi ciently cool.
