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 to Water Line” in the Installation

Instructions. If you have any questions about your water

connection, see “Troubleshooting” 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.”

■ 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 “Water Filtration

System.”

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.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. For Style 1,

lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown. For Style 2, 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.

Style 1 – Non-Dispenser Models

Style 2 – Dispenser Models

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.

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) for an additional 2 minutes. This

will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.

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. For Style 1,

lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2, 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.

Using Controls

IMPORTANT:

■ The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment

temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer

compartment temperature.

■ Wait 24 hours after you turn on the refrigerator before you put

food into it. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled

completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a

lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any

faster.

■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not

blocked before adjusting the controls.

■ The preset settings should be correct for normal household

usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as

cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■ The actual temperature may differ from the display when a

door is open for an extended period of time.

NOTE: The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for

the freezer and 37°F (2°C) for the refrigerator.

Turning Refrigerator On and Viewing Set Points

■ Press the ON/OFF touch pad.

NOTE:

■ After the refrigerator is turned on, the Over Temperature audio

alarm and indicator light may activate every 1¹⁄₂ hours until the

refrigerator and freezer temperatures are below 48°F (9°C) and

15°F (-9°C), respectively, or until the alarm is turned off. To

turn off the audio alarm and indicator light, see “Master Alarm

Reset.”

■ The ON/OFF touch pad on the control panel shuts down

refrigerator functions such as cooling, lighting, fans and

compressors. To turn the power off completely, use the power

ON/OFF switch located behind the top grille. See “Power On/

Off Switch.”

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of

unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or

after the system.
