WaterSystem 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. 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.
NOTES:
■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. 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.
