Remove all boxes, parts packages and packing materials from the interior of the refrigerator. 4. Remove the film and cardboard from the grille and doors or door frame, depending on your model. 5. Install the shelves and bins in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. 6. The controls are preset at the factory to the midpoint setting. Check that the compressor is operating properly and that all the lights are working. 7. Flush the water system before use. See Water System Preparation. To get the most efficient use from your new refrigerator, read your use and care manual. Keep these installation instructions and the use and care manual near the refrigerator for easy reference. Water System Preparation Please read before using the water system. Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned. NOTICE: Flush four (4) gallons of water through the water filter cartridge before use. Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water. 3. Make sure the ice bin is in place and the ice maker arm is down. 4. After the freezer section reaches between 0° to 2°F (-18° to -17° C), the ice maker fills with water and begins operating. You will have a complete harvest of ice approximately every three hours. 5. Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to receive the first harvest of ice. 6. Discard ice created within the first 12 hours of operation to assure the system is flushed of impurities. 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. Install the water filter. The water filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the fresh food compartment. Remove the blue bypass cap and retain it for later use. Remove the sealing label from the end of the filter and insert it into the filter head. Rotate it gently clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover closed. 2. Hold a sturdy container under the water spout and press the dispenser button. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 4 gallons (15 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 5 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser. 8
