Setting Up

You should remove the right side upper glass shelf before installing the water fi lter.

Reverse osmosis water supply

iMPoRtAnt : 

The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis  system going to the 

water inlet valve of the  refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa). 

If a reverse osmosis water fi ltration system is  connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to 
the reverse osmosis  system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa.)
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

•   Check to see whether the sediment fi lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the fi lter if 

necessary.

•  Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refi ll after heavy usage.
•   If your refrigerator has a water fi lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction 

with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water fi lter.

If you have questions about your water  pressure, call a licensed, qualifi ed plumber.

Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line 

after installing the water fi lter.

1.   Turn ON the main water supply & turn OFF the valve to the water supply 

line.

2.   Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx. 

6-7minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air 
from the lines.

3.  Additional fl ushing may be required in some households.
4.   Open the Refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks 

coming from the water fi lter.

Be sure to fl ush the dispenser thoroughly or water may from it. 
This is due to the fact that there is still air in the line.

4.   Remove the fi lter cap and insert the fi lter into the fi lter 

housing.

5.    Slowly turn the water fi lter 90º clockwise to align 

with the printing mark on the cover, locking the fi lter 
in position. Make sure to align the water fi lter label 
mark with center of cover fi lter printing as illustrated. 
Remember, do not over-tighten.
