GETTING STARTED
REMOVE THE PACKAGING
NOTE:
Remove tape and glue residue
from surfaces before turning on the
refrigerator. Rub a small amount of
liquid dish soap over the adhesive with
your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing
alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive
cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of
your refrigerator. For more information,
see "Refrigerator Safety."
Dispose of/recycle all packaging
materials.
CLEAN BEFORE USING
After you remove all of the packaging materials,
clean the inside of your refrigerator before
using it. See the cleaning instructions in
"Refrigerator Care."
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.

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.
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.
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.
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.
