Water System Preparation

Please read before using the water system.

Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

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.

1.Hold a sturdy container under

the water spout and press the dispenser button. Flush the

water system by dispensing and discarding 6 qt. (5.7 L) of water. Cleaning the system

will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes and will help clear

air from the line. Additional flushing may be required

in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

2. Make sure the ice bin is in place and the ice maker arm

is down.

3. After the freezer section reaches between 0° to 2°F (-18° to -17° C), the ice maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice approximately every three hours.

4.Allow approximately 24 hours

after installation to receive the first harvest of ice.

5.Discard ice created within the first 12 hours of operation to assure the system is flushed of impurities.
