CAUTION
Do not use without the molded end (Bulb) of the
plastic tubing ( B ).
2. Tighten the compression nut ( B ) onto the
compression fi tting.
Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( B ) .
3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage.
If you fi nd water drops or leakage in the
connection areas, turn off the main water
supply. Check the connections and, if
necessary, tighten.
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.
You can test the water line quickly using a
paper cup. Under normal conditions, the
water dispenser can fi ll a 5.75 oz. (170 cc)
cup in about 10 seconds.
