Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

Tools Needed:

■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ 1/4" Nut driver
■ 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or adjustable wrenches
v☐ 1/4" Drill bit
■ Cordless drill
■ 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.

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■ Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
■ Use copper or PEX tubing and check for leaks. Install copper or PEX tubing only in areas where the household temperature will remain above freezing.

■ For models with water filters, the disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1000 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flo of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

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 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1000 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 to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 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. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.

If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse D80smosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Filters And Accessories."

Fault If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

and Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
■ The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks. If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following part numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).
■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
■ Connect to a potable water supply only. ed 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.

Tools Needed:

- Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard first three batches of ice produced.

■ The dispenser will dispense either water or ice.

■ The dispensing system will not operate when the left refrigerator door is open.

On some models, the display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off automatically and enter "sleep" mode when the control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in "sleep" mode, the first press a control button will only reactivate the display screen without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter "sleep" mode.

Flush the Water System

Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water disp to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system.

Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt of the dispenser.

1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gallons (12 Liter)) has been dispensed.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

Dispense at least 1 quartz (1 Liter) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.

■ With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See "Water Supply Requirements" and online "Troubleshooting" for more information.

Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked. If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.

If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and innerdelivery chute, using a plastic utensil.

■ Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage flow in using a warm, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

tIMPORTANT:

To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water source system before turning on the ice maker. See "Water and Ice Dispenser" for details.

Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow 2 to 3 days to fill the ice storage bin.

For models with a water filter, after connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard three full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use.
■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice rol maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to red poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, less make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well out maintained.
If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, place the entire bin in a sink and run warm water over the ice until melted. O break up ice using a plastic utensil and discard ice.
■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

Ice Production Rate

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

Allow 3 days to completely fill the ice storage bin. The ice maker should produce approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg) (8 to 12 batches) of ice of in a 24 hour period.

To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator temperature, or see "Control Panel Descriptions" in the Quick Start Guide for details. Wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Remove and Replace the Ice Storage Bin

■ Remove the ice storage bin by inserting your fingers into a hole at the base of the bin and squeezing the latch to re the bin from the compartment. Lift the storage bin up and straight out.
