Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure  

that the water system is properly cleaned.

NOTICE:

 Flush four (4) gallons of water through the water filter 

cartridge before use. Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool 

down and chill water.

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.

1.  Install the water filter. The water filter is located in the upper 

right hand corner of the fresh food compartment. Remove 

the blue bypass cap and retain it for later use. Remove the 

sealing label from the end of the filter and insert it into the 

filter head. Rotate it gently clockwise until it stops. Snap the 

filter cover closed.

2.  Hold a sturdy container under the water spout and press the 

dispenser button. Flush the water system by dispensing and 

discarding 4 gallons (15 L) of water. Cleaning the system will 

take approximately 5 minutes and will help clear air from the 

line. Additional flushing may be required in some households. 

As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the 

dispenser.
