MPORTANT:
Flush the water system before use. See
Water
System Preparation
.
To get the most efficient use from your new refrigerator, read your
use and care manual. Keep these installation instructions and the
use and care manual near the refrigerator for easy reference.
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.
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.
Press the water touch pad on the
1.
control panel. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the 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) for an additional 5 minutes.
This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.
Additional flushing may be required in some households. As
air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
NOTE:
After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the
dispensing lever again.
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. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh
supply.
NOTE:
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to completely
fill the ice container.
Leveling
Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly an pull it
1.
toward you.
Using a 1/4” hex driver, turn the leveling screw on each side
2.
to raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.
NOTE:
Having someone
push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some
weight off the leveling
screws. Doing so makes it
easier to turn the screws.
To raise, turn the
•
leveling screw
clockwise.
To lower, turn the
•
leveling screw counter-
clockwise.
Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as
3.
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear
by turning both adjustments screws clockwise. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both adjustment
screws the same amount.
Replace the base grill.
4.
Handle Installation
Some units do not come with the handle installed to allow
•
the customer to choose the handle style. Optional handle kits
are also available. See the use and care manual for a list of
available handle kits.
The installation instructions for the handle are included with
•
the kit.
