Water System Preparation

Please read before using the water system. Follow the directions specific to your model.

Style 1 (Dispenser Models)

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use.

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.

NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal position.

1.Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown.

2.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.

NOTE: 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.

NOTES:

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

■Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

Style 2 (Non-Dispenser Models)

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard two full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use, before using the ice.

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.

NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal position.

1.Turn on the ice maker. Lower the wire shutoff arm as shown. Please refer to “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.
