AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Priming the Water Supply System
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes
severaltubinglines,anadvancedwaterlter,
a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank
to ensure ample supply to the ice and water
dispenser at all times. This system needs to be
completelylledwithwaterwhenrstconnected
to an external supply line.
To prime the water supply system:
1 Beginllingthetankbypressingandholding
a drinking glass against the water dispenser
paddle.
2 Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about four
minutestoushthesystemandplumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Ice Maker Operation & Care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the freezer
compartment. After the refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can
completelyllanicebininabouttwodays.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shutsoffthewaterowafterthreeminutesof
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30
psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause
waterltertomalfunction.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory
with the wire signal arm in the ON position
(side mounted) or with the switch turned
ON (rear mounted). To ensure proper
function of your ice maker, hook up water
supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF
by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks
and locks in the UP position (side mounted)
or turn the On/Off switch to the Off (0)
position (rear mounted). If the ice maker
is not turned off and the water supply
is not connected, the water valve will
make a loud chattering noise.
