After a short vacation or absence:
Reconnect the water supply and turn on supply valve (see page 9). Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct leaks if necessary.
On RX693 / RX594 models run 10 – 15 glasses of water from the dispenser to flush out the system. Restart the ice maker by lowering the ice maker arm.
Discard at least the first three ice harvests.
Deactivate Vacation mode if activated (see page 12 for RX693 / RX594 models and page 17 for RX616 model).
After a long vacation or absence:
Reconnect the water supply and turn on supply valve (see page 9).
Plug the refrigerator back in and reset controls (see page 11 or 16) or on RX693 / RX594 models turn Appliance mode on (see page 15).
Wipe the refrigerator out with a clean damp cloth.
Monitor water connection for 24 hours and correct leaks if necessary.
On RX693 / RX594 models run water through the dispenser for at least three minutes with the filter bypass in place, then install water filter (see page 28).
After installing the water filter, run water through the dispenser continuously for at least two minutes, or until water runs steady. Initially you may notice a one to two minute delay in water dispensing as the internal tanks fills.
On the RX616 model remove the filter bypass cap and install water filter. Restart the ice maker by lowering the ice maker arm.
Discard ice produced within the first 12 hours.
