Water System Preparation Please read before using the water system. Follow the directions specific to your model. Style 1 - Dispenser Models IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment. Style 2 - Non-Dispenser Models IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, fill and discard two full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use, before using the ice. 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. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown. 1. Turn on the ice maker. Lower the wire shutoff arm as shown.
