IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the 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
4 gal. (15 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.
• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
