Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

„„ When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection from the water source should have been connected to your refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water source, see Connect the Water Supply in the installation instructions. If you have any questions about your water connection, see the Troubleshooting section or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

„„ If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF. See Ice Maker and Storage Bin on page 8.

„„ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see Troubleshooting or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi (276 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 psi (276 kPa):

„„ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

„„ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

„„ If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See Replacing the Water Filter on page 14.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

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.

1.Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker.

For non-dispensing models, lift the ice maker cover, then lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown below.

Ice maker cover

For dispensing models, move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown. The ON/OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment. See below.

Ice Maker

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.

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.

2.Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until the water begins to flow. 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.

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. For non-dispensing models, lower the wire shutoff arm. For dispensing models, move the switch to the ON (left) position. „„Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

„„Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

„„Depending on your model, you may want to select the maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.
