2. Tighten the compression nut ( B ) into the
compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the
compression nut ( B ).
3. Turn water on and check for any leakage.
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.
Removing residual matter inside the water
supply line after installing filter
Ice
1. Turn ON the main water supply.
2. Press the Water button and push the dispenser
pad.
3. Flush 3 gallons of water through the filter before
use.
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.)
This will clean the water supply system and
remove air from the lines.
4. Additional flushing may be required in some
households.
5. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there
are no water leaks coming from the water filter.
A newly installed water filter cartridge may
cause water to briefly spurt from the water
dispenser.
This is due to air getting into the line. It
should pose no problem to operation.
