Household water line

1.  Connect the household water line to the 

assembled compression fitting.

 

- If you are using copper tubing, slip the 

compression nut ( 

B ) (not supplied) and 

ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not 
supplied) as shown.

 

- If you are using plastic tubing ( 

B ), insert the 

molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing ( 

B ) into 

the compression fitting.

Do not use plastic tubing ( 

B ) without the molded 

end (Bulb).

2.  Tighten the compression nut ( 

B ) onto the 

compression fitting. 
Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( 

B ).

3.  Turn the water on and check for any leaks 

inside the refrigerator, around the water filter, 
and in any connection areas. 
If you find water drops or leaks, turn off the 
main water supply. 
If the leaks are in the connection areas, check 
the connections and, if necessary, tighten. 
If there are leaks in the refrigerator, check 
the water filter and confirm it is in the locked 
position. 
Turn on the water supply and check for leaks 
again.

4.  Plug in the refrigerator.
5.  Flush 1 gallons of water through the filter before 

drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. 
(Flush approximately 6 minutes.) 
This will clean the water supply system and 
remove air from the lines.

To flush, press the Water button, and then press 
a large glass or cup against the water dispenser 
lever. Fill the glass, empty it into the kitchen sink 
after it is filled, and then repeat.

Additional flushing may be required in 
some households.

6.  Open the refrigerator door and make sure there 

are no water leaks coming from the water filter. 

•  After you turn on the refrigerator, let the 

ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. 
 Over that period of time, throw out the 
first 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker 
makes to ensure all impurities have been 
removed from the water line.

•  Only connect the water line to a drinkable water 

source.

•  If you have to repair or disassemble the water 

line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make 
sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

•  You can test the water line quickly using a 

paper cup. 
Under normal conditions, the water dispenser 
can fill a 5.75 oz. (170 cc) cup in about 10 
seconds.
