Priming the water supply system
Yourrefrigerator’swatersupplysystemincludesseveraltubinglines,
an advanced water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank
toensureamplesupplytotheiceandwaterdispenseratalltimes.This
system needs to be completely filled with water when first connected to
an external supply line.
WARNING - Connect to potable water only. Minimum
supply water pressure = 210 kPa (2.1 bar). Maximum
supply water pressure = 690 kPa (6.9 bar).
CAUTION - For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure should fall
between 210 kPa (2.1 bar) and 690 kPa (6.9 bar).
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to
malfunction.
To prime the water supply system:
1 Beginllingthetankbypressingandholdingadrinkingglass
againstthewaterdispenserpaddle.
2 Keeptheglassinthispositionuntilwatercomesoutofthe
dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.
3 Continuedispensingwaterforaboutthreeminutestoushthe
systemandplumbingconnectionsofanyimpurities(stoppingto
emptytheglassasnecessary).
Ice maker operation & care
Theicemaker,icebin,anddispenserfeedingmechanismarelocated
inthetopofthefreezercompartment.Aftertherefrigeratorisinstalled
properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice
within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
Theicemakerproduces1.8to2.7kgoficeevery24hoursdependingon
usageconditions.Iceisproducedatarateofeightcubesevery75to90

ice container as explained below.
WARNING - Incorporated ice makers are to be
installed only by the manufacturer or its service
agent.
NOTE-Thewaterdispenserhasabuilt-indevicethatshutsoffthe

device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
IMPORTANT - Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work
assoonasyouinstallyourrefrigerator.Ifyoucannotconnectawater
supply, turn the ice maker’s On/Off switch to Off. Otherwise, the ice
maker’sllvalvemaymakealoudchatteringnoisewhenitattemptsto
operate without water.
NOTE - Theicemakeralsohasabuilt-inwiresignalarm,which
automaticallystopsiceproductionwhentheicebinisfull.Thissignal
arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.

frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes are harvested they
break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice container,
