Water System Preparation
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. 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.
NOTES:
■
If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the
base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the
horizontal position.
■
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.
2. Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar
until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by
dispensing and discarding 6 qt (5.7 L) of water. Cleaning the
system will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes and will help
clear air from the line. 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.
■
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.
