Product Usage Instructions

The flushing process must be completed through both the water dispenser and ice maker.
- Press the water dispenser pad to dispense 1 gallon (4 liters) of water to flush through the water dispenser.
- Check the drip tray regularly and empty it when required to remove any remaining trapped air in the dispenser.
For Automatic Ice only models:
The flushing process must be completed through the ice maker.
- Turn on the ice maker. Refer to the user guide supplied with your appliance for details.
- Press and hold the <Ice Maker On/Off> and <Lock/Unlock> buttons together for 4 seconds, then close the doors. The ice tray will flip.
- Repeat step 2 to remove dust in the ice tray collected during manufacture and transport.

- Once your ice maker is turned on, the first bin of ice may be discolored. This is normal during the flushing process. Discard the first full bin of ice made. Your ice maker is now ready for use.
The performance of your water filter will improve with continued use.
