1) Turn on the main water supply & shut-off the valve of the water supply line.

2) Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (6~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and

clear air from the lines.

3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.

4) Open the fridge door and check if water leaks around the water filter.

(_ • A newly:installed water filtei cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser

NOTE

Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.

1) To remove :Set the type of ice to the "Ice Off" position. Lift up ((ih)and pull out (@)the ice bucket in the freezer.

To replace :When replacing the drawer, be sure to press it firm-

ly into place. If it does not go all the way back, remove it and rotate the drive mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the drawer back

again.

2) Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will

stop producing ice. It is normal for several cubes to be joined

together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

3) important Facts About Your Dispenser :

Do not add icefrom trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well. Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke itthrough with a wooden spoon. Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled inthe ice storage bin. To keep dispensed icefrom missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dis- penser opening. Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher. After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.

4) Water Supply to the Icemaker : The icemaker must be connected to a cold water line.

5) Start the Icemaker : Set the type of ice to the "Cubed Ice" or "Crushed Ice" position. The icemakerwill not begin to oper- ate until it reachs itsoperating of 10.4°F(-12°C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if

the type of ice is in the '"Cubed Ice'"or '"Crushed Ice'"position.
