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.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the ow

of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes

could be hollow or irregular shaped. If you have questions about

your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied 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 ltration 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 lter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell

after heavy usage.

■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce

the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse

osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See “Water Filtration

System.”

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualied plumber.

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.

■ Connect to potable water supply only.

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

or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction

may be used on disinfected waters that may contain

filterable cysts.
