period of time, throw out the fi rst 1 or 2 buckets
of ice the freezer makes to ensure all impurities
have been removed from the water line.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable

If you have to repair or disassemble the water line,
cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you
get a snug, leak-free connection.
You can test the water line quickly using a
paper cup. Under normal conditions, the
water dispenser can fi ll a 5.75 oz. (170cc)
cup in about 10 seconds.
