2. Tighten the compression nut ( B ) onto the
compression fi tting.
Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( B ).
3. Turn the water on and check for any leaks
inside the refrigerator, around the water fi lter,
and in any connection areas.
If you fi nd water drops or leaks, turn off the
main water supply.
If the leaks are in the connection areas, check
the connections and, if necessary, tighten.
If there are leaks in the refrigerator, check
the water fi lter and confi rm it is in the locked
position.
Turn on the water supply and check for leaks
again.
4. Plug in the refrigerator.
5. Flush 3 gallons of water through the fi lter before
drinking or using the water from the refrigerator.
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.)
This will clean the water supply system and
remove air from the lines.
To fl ush, press the Water button, and then press
a large glass or cup against the water dispenser
lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink
after it is fi lled, and then repeat.
Additional fl ushing may be required in
some households.
6. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there
are no water leaks coming from the water fi lter.
• After you turn on the refrigerator, let the
ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days.
Over that period of time, throw out the
fi rst 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker
makes to ensure all impurities have been
removed from the water line.
• Only connect the water line to a drinkable water
source.
• If you have to repair or disassemble the water
line, cut off 1/4" of the plastic tubing to make
sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.
• You can test the water line quickly using a
paper cup.
Under normal conditions, the water dispenser
can fi ll a 5.75 oz. (170 cc) cup in about 10
seconds.
