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 freezer makes to ensure all
impurities have been removed from the water line.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable water
source.
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.
