3. Turn water on and check for any leakage.
If you find water drops or leakage in the
connection areas, turn off the main water
supply. Check the connections and, if
nescessary, tighten.
4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the filter 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.
5. 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 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.
COMPLETING THE SET UP
Now that you have your new refrigerator installed
in place, you are ready to set up and enjoy the
features and functions of the appliance.
By completing the following steps, your refrigerator
should be fully operational.
1. Make sure your refrigerator is in an appropriate
location with reasonable clearance between it
and the wall.
Refer to installation instructions in this manual.
2. Once the refrigerator is plugged in, make sure
the interior light comes on when you open the
doors.
3. Set the Temperature control to the coldest
temperature and wait for an hour.
The freezer will get slightly chilled and the motor
will run smoothly. Reset the refrigerator and
freezer to the temperatures you want.
4. After you plug the refrigerator in, it will take a
few hours to reach the appropriate temperature.
You can store food and drinks in the refrigerator
after the temperature is sufficiently cool.

both sides of fridge door’s central part, turn
the Energy Saver mode off after removing
the condensation. (See the explanation on
