On some models, the ice maker is equipped with a built-in
water strainer. If your water conditions require a second
water strainer, install it in the 1/4" (6.35 mm) water line at
either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your
nearest appliance dealer.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray
water tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not
long enough, a 1/4" x 1/4" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is
needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing
household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the
coupling on the end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a
wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.

Complete the Installation
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
72 hours to completely fill ice container.
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 can only be accessed when the ice storage bin
has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door,
on the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin.
Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.
2. Make sure the water filter is properly installed.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
.
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.
