3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long
enough, a 1/4" x 1/4" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed
in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household
water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the
end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench
two more turns. Do not overtighten.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
Complete the Installation
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Flush the water system. See the "Water and Ice Dispensers"
section.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow
72 hours to completely fill ice container.

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. See the "Ice
Maker and Storage Bin" section.
NOTE: If your model has a water filter, make sure the filter is
properly installed. See the "Water Filtration System" section.
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.

2. Flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and
hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, and 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.
3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. See the
"Ice Maker and Storage Bin" section.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
■
Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

REFRIGERATOR USE

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to
flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the
freezer section and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator section
through the top vent. Air then returns to the freezer as shown.
Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow
will be obstructed and temperature and moisture problems may
occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
