CAUTION
Do not mount the water filter on any part

refrigerator.
1.
Connect the household water line to the assembled compression fitting.
- If you are using copper tubing, slip the
compression nut (B)
(not supplied) and
ferrule
(not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown.
- If you are using
plastic tubing (A)
, insert the molded end (Bulb) of the
plastic tubing
(A)
into the compression fitting.
CAUTION
• If you use
plastic tubing (A)
, do not use it without the molded end (Bulb).
• Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing
sound over time. If this is the case, make sure that the ice making function is turned
“
OFF
” and do not attempt to use the water dispenser.
2.
Tighten the
compression nut (B)
onto the
compression fitting
. Do not over-tighten the
compression nut (B)
.
3.
Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you find water drops or leakage in
the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if
necessary, tighten.
4.
Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter before drinking or using the water from the
refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To flush, press a large glass or cup against
the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it, and then repeat.
5.
After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that
period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure
all impurities have been removed from the water line.
NOTE
Only connect the water line to a potable water source.
• If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off
