After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice
maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that

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.
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.
