CAUTION
Do not mount the water lter on any part
of the refrigerator. This may damage the
refrigerator.
1. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression tting.
- If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (B) (not supplied) and
ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown.
- If you are using plastic tubing (A), insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing
(A) into the compression tting.
CAUTION
• If you use plastic tubing (A), do not use it without the molded end (Bulb).
• Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing
sound over time. If this is the case, make sure that the ice making function is turned
“OFF” and do not attempt to use the water dispenser.
2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the compression tting. Do not over-tighten the
compression nut (B).
3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you nd water drops or leakage in
the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if
necessary, tighten.
4. Flush 3 gallons of water through the lter before drinking or using the water from the
refrigerator. (Flush approximately 5-6 minutes.) To ush, press a large glass or cup
against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it, and then repeat.
5. 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 rst 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure
all impurities have been removed from the water line.
NOTE
Only connect the water line to a potable 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 ll a 5
3
/4 oz. (170 cc) cup in about 10 seconds.
