KitchenAid 24.2 Cu. Ft. 42" Width Built-In Panel Ready French Door Refrigerator with Platinum Interior Design 使用とお手入れ

BEFORE USE

■

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning 
on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap 
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water 
and dry.

■

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable 
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These 
products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For 
more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

■

Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of 
your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in 
“Refrigerator Care.”

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:

■

When your refrigerator was installed, the water connection 
from the water source should have been connected to your 
refrigerator. If your refrigerator is not connected to a water 
source, see “Connect to Water Line” in the Installation 
Instructions. If you have any questions about your water 
connection, see “Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified 
plumber.

■

If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is 
connected, turn the ice maker OFF. See “Ice Maker and 
Storage Bin.”

■

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi 
(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and 
ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see 
“Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a 
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the 
refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 
827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your 
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis 
system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi (276 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 
40 psi (276 kPa):

■

Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse 
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

■

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill 
after heavy usage.

■

If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the 
water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse 
osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water Filtration 
System.”

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, 
qualified plumber.

Water System Preparation

Please read before using the water system.
IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source 
or after replacing the water filter, fill and discard two full containers 
of ice to prepare the water filter for use before using the ice.

1. To turn on the ice maker, simply lower the wire shutoff arm. 

See “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” for further instructions on 
the operation of your ice maker.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

NOTE: If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the 
base grille filter is installed so that the Eject button is out. See 
“Water Filtration System.”

Install Air Filter

(on some models)

An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at 
reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator. 
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes 
an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. 

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when 
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to 
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. 
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, 
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers 
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid 
dropping.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of 
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or 
after the system.
