Water System Preparation
(on some models)
Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make 
sure that the water system is properly cleaned.
1.
Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker by lifting up 
the wire shutoff arm as shown. 
NOTES:
If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the 
base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the 
horizontal position. 
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or 
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before 
or after the system.
2.
Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar 
until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by 
dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. 
Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes 
and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be 
required in some households.
NOTE: 
As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out 
of the dispenser.
3.
Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker by lowering 
the wire shutoff arm. Please refer to the “Ice Maker and 
Storage Bin/Bucket” section for further instructions on the 
operation of your ice maker.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. 
Discard the first three batches of ice produced. 
Normal Sounds
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t 
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be 
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard 
surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the 
sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds 
and what may be making them.
If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a 
buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice 
maker for each cycle.
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep 
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize 
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may 
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You 
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the 
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
