1. Connect the household water line to the
assembled compression fitting.
-
If you are using copper tubing, slip the
compression nut (B) (not supplied) and ferrule
(not supplied) on the copper tubing (not
supplied) as shown.
-
If you are using plastic tubing (A), insert the
molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing (A) into
the compression fitting.
CAUTION
• Do not use without the molded end (Bulb) of
the plastic tubing (A).
2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the
compression fitting.
Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B).
3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage.
If you find water drops or leakage in the
connection areas, turn off the main water
supply. Check the connections and, if
necessary, tighten.
4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter before
drinking or using the water from the refrigerator.
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.)
To flush, press a large glass or cup against the
water dispenser lever.
Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink after
it is filled, and then repeat.
5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice
maker make ice for 1 to 2 days.
Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or
2 buckets of ice the freezer makes to ensure all
impurities have been removed from the water
line.
• Only connect the water line to a drinkable
water source.
• If you have to repair or disassemble the water
line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make
sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.
• You can test the water line quickly using a
paper cup.
Under normal conditions, the water dispenser
can fill a 170 cc cup in about 10 seconds.
