Priming the water supply

system
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes
several tubing lines, an advanced water filter,
a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank to
ensure ample supply to the ice and water dispenser
at all times. This system needs to be completely
filled with water when first connected to an external
supply line.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to
malfunction.

To prime the water supply system:

1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the water dispenser
paddle.
2 Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about three
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after three minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
Ice maker operation & care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the freezer
compartment. After the refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for several hours, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can
completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
The ice maker produces four to six pounds of ice
every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice
is produced at a rate of eight cubes every 75 to 90
minutes.

Using the ice maker after installation

IMPORTANT
The ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can
work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If
you cannot connect a water supply, turn the ice
maker's On/Off switch to Off. Otherwise, the ice
maker's fill valve may be noisy when it attempts to
operate without water.
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to
prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing
lines can result in two or three empty ice maker
cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed,
the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an
odd flavor.

Turning the ice maker on and off

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/
Off power switch. To gain access to the ice maker,
pull the extra shelf out (some models). Press the
switch to the "O" position to turn it Off and press to
the "I" position to turn it On.
OR
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,
which automatically stops ice production when
the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be
used to manually stop the ice maker.
