Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Flush the water system. See "Prepare the Water System" or
"Water and Ice Dispensers."
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow
3 days to completely fill ice container.
2. Flush the water system. 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 dispensed. 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. Please refer to the "Ice Maker
and Storage Bin" section for further instructions on the
operation of your ice maker.
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
• Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
• Depending on your model, you may want to select the
maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned
about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces,
such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem
louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may
be making them.
• If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear
a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker for each cycle.
