Refrigerator Operation
Water Supply Requirements
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection „
from the water source should have been connected to your
refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water
source, see Connect the Water Supply in the installation
instructions. If you have any questions about your water
connection, see the Troubleshooting section or call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
„
connected, turn the ice maker OFF. See Ice Maker and
Storage Bin on page 8.
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
„
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi
(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and
ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see
Troubleshooting or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of
a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827
kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi (276 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 psi (276 kPa):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse „
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
„
after heavy usage.
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce
„
the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See Replacing the
Water Filter on page 14.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Water System Preparation
Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make
sure that the water system is properly cleaned.
Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. 1.
For non-dispensing models, lift the ice maker cover, then lift up
the wire shutoff arm as shown below.
For dispensing models, move the switch to the OFF (right)
setting as shown. The ON/OFF switch is located on the top
right side of the freezer compartment. See below.
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.
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.
Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar 2.
until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by
dispensing and discarding 6 qt (5.7 L) of water. Cleaning the
system will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes and will help
clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in
some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out
of the dispenser.
Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. For
3.
non-dispensing models, lower the wire shutoff arm. For
dispensing models, move the switch to the ON (left) position.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. „
Discard the first three batches of ice produced. „
Depending on your model, you may want to select the „
maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.
