Water System Preparation
IMPORTANT: Please read before using the water system.
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the
water filter, follow the steps below to make sure that the water
system is properly cleaned. This will flush air from the filter and
water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use.
Follow the directions specific to your model.
Style 1 – Dispenser Models
The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment.
1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. Move the
switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown.
NOTE: 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.
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) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has
been dispensed. 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.
Style 2 – Non-Dispenser Models
1. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Lower the
wire shutoff arm as shown.
NOTE: 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.
2. Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
3. Before using the ice, fill and discard two full containers of ice
to prepare the filter for use.
NOTES:
■ Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.
■ Depending on your model, you may want to select the
maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.
