REFRIGERATOR FEATURES
Water and Ice Dispensers
Please read before using the water system. Follow the directions
specific to your model.
Style 1 (Dispenser Models)
IMPORTANT:
� After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, follow the steps below to make sure that the
water system is properly cleaned. This will flush air from the
filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter
for use.
� Connect to potable water supply only.
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.
NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the
base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal
position.
1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The ON/OFF
switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as
shown.
2. 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.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out
of the dispenser.
3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the
switch to the ON (left) position.
Notes:
� Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
� Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
� Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.
Style 2 (Non-Dispenser Models)
IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source
or replacing the water filter, fill and discard two full containers of
ice to prepare the water filter for use, before using the ice.
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.
NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the
base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal
position.
