WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

1.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Prepare the Water System

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. The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.

2.Make sure the water filter is properly installed.

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.

3.Flush the water system. 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. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

4.Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the switch to the ON (left) position. See the Use & Care Guide for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.

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.
