01 SETTING UP
Connect the household water line to the 1.
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 without the molded end (Bulb)
of the plastic tubing ( B ).
Tighten the compression nut ( 2. B ) onto the
compression fitting.
Do not over-tighten the compression nut ( B ) .
Turn water on and check for any leakage. If you 3.
find water drops or leakage in the connection
areas, turn off the main water supply. Check
the connections and, if necessary, tighten.
Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter 4.
before drinking or using the water from the
refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.)
To flush, 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.
After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice 5.
maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that
period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2
buckets of ice the freezer 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.

Now that you have your new refrigerator installed
in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the

smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and freezer to
the temperatures you want.
