Prepare the Water System

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. The On/Off switch
can only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed. The
switch is located on the freezer door, on the left side of the wall that
surrounds the ice storage bin. Move the switch to the OFF (right)
setting.
2. Make sure the water filter is properly installed.
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.
3. Flush the water system. 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) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air
from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water
filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
4. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the switch to
the ON (left) position. Please refer to the "Ice Maker and Storage Bin"
section for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
Depending on your model, you may want to select the maximum
ice feature to increase the production of ice.
