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 flow
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, 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.
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or after
■
replacing the water filter, fill and discard two full containers of
ice to prepare the water filter for use before using the ice.
Connect to potable water supply only.
■
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.
1. To turn on the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
See "Ice Maker and Storage Bin" for further instructions on
the operation of your ice maker.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure
the base grille filter is installed so that the Eject button is out. See
"Water Filtration System."
Install Air Filter
(on some models)
An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at
reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator.
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes
an air filter which must be installed prior to use.
Installing the Air Filter
Install the air filter in the ceiling, along the back wall, of the
refrigerator compartment.
1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.
2. Snap the filter into place.
Replacing the Air Filter
The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months. To
order a replacement air filter, contact us. See "Accessories" for
information on ordering.
1. Remove the used air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.
2. Install the new air filter by snapping it into place.
Install Produce Preserver
(on some models)
The produce preserver absorbs ethylene to slow the ripening
process of many produce items. As a result, certain produce
items will stay fresh longer.
Ethylene production and sensitivity varies, depending on the type
of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is best to separate
produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits that produce
moderate-to-high amounts of ethylene.
