plug from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the 
refrigerator.

3. Thread the provided nut onto the water valve as shown.

two more turns. Do not overtighten. 

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Flush the water system. See “Prepare the Water System” or 

“Water and Ice Dispensers.”

NOTE: It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin 
producing ice.

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. For Style 1, 

lift up the wire shutoff arm as shown. For Style 2, move the 
switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown. The On/Off switch 
is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment.

NOTE: 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. 

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 1.5 gal. (5.4 L) of water. Cleaning 
the system will take approximately 3 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. For Style 1, 

lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2, move the switch to 
the ON (left) position. Please refer to the “Ice Maker and 
Storage Bin” section for further instructions on the operation 
of your ice maker.
