Complete the Installation
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Flush the water system. See “Prepare the Water System” or
“Water and Ice Dispensers.”
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow
3 days to completely fill ice container.
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.
For Style 1, lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown.
For Style 2, 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.
NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the
base grille filter is properly installed and the cartridge cap handle
is in the horizontal position.
2. 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.
3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. For Style 1,
lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2, move the switch to the
ON (left) position. Please refer to the “Ice Maker and Storage
Bin” section for further instructions on the operation of your ice
maker.
