Plug in Refrigerator
1. Plug into a grounded (earthed) outlet.
Prepare the Water System
(if required)
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 is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as
shown.
NOTE: Make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and
the cap is in the horizontal position.
2. 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) for an additional 2 minutes. This
will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.
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. See “Ice Maker and Storage
Bin” 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.
Level Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to
support and stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.
Remove the Base Grille
1. Open the refrigerator doors to 90°.
2. Remove base grille. Grasp the grille with both hands. Lift up
and tilt the top of the grille toward you.
NOTE: Do not remove the Tech Sheets fastened behind the
grille.
Level the Refrigerator
There is a set of two leveling bolts on each side of the refrigerator
behind the base grille. The top bolts adjust the rear of the
refrigerator, and the bottom bolts adjust the front of the
refrigerator.
1. Use a
¹⁄₂
" (12.70 mm) socket wrench to adjust the leveling
bolts. Turn the leveling bolts to the right to raise or to the left to
lower the refrigerator. It may take several turns to adjust the tilt
of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Do not unscrew the leveling bolts too much when
lowering the refrigerator. The bolt head will start to come away
from the refrigerator when in the lowest position.
2. Adjust the front leveling bolts to bring the refrigerator top
parallel with the cabinet above the refrigerator.
■
For standard cabinets, leave approximately
¹⁄₈
" (3.18 mm)
gap between the refrigerator’s top hinges and the
cabinets.
■
For full-overlay cabinets, leave
¹⁄₄
" (6.35 mm) gap between
the refrigerator’s top hinges and the cabinets.
