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. For Style 1,
lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown. For Style 2, 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.
Style 1 – Non-Dispenser Models
Style 2 – Dispenser Models
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) for an additional 2 minutes. This
will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.
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. For Style 1,
lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2, move the switch to the
ON (left) position.
