Water System Preparation
Please read before using the water system. Follow the directions
specic to your model.
Style 1 (Dispenser Models)
IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source
or replacing the water lter, follow the steps below to make sure
that the water system is properly cleaned. This will ush air from
the lter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water lter
for use.
NOTE: If your model has a base grille lter system, make sure the
base grille lter 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 ow. Once water begins to ow,
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 ush air from the lter and water
dispensing system, and prepare the water lter for use.
Additional ushing 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 rst batch of ice.
■ Discard the rst three batches of ice produced.
■ Allow 3 days to completely ll ice container.
■ Depending on your model, you may want to select the
maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.
Style 2 (Non-Dispenser Models)
IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source
or replacing the water lter, ll and discard two full containers of
ice to prepare the water lter for use, before using the ice.
NOTE: If your model has a base grille lter system, make sure the
base grille lter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal
position.
1. Turn on the ice maker. Lower the wire shutoff arm as shown.
Please refer to “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” for further
instructions on the operation of your ice maker.
NOTES:
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the rst batch of ice.
■ Allow 3 days to completely ll ice container.
■ Depending on your model, you may want to select the
maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before

may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
