WHAT TO DO
Water pressure must be between 35 to 100 pounds per
square inch to function properly. A minimum
pressure of 35 pounds per square inch is
recommended for refrigerators with water filters.
Open saddle valve completely.
See Temperature Controls, pages 12, 13 and 14. Freezer
temperature should be between 0° to 2° F (-17° to -16° C).
The manufacturer recommends using copper tubing for
installation. Plastic is less durable and can cause
leakage. Sears is not responsible for property damage
due to installation or water connection not performed
by Sears.

Turn off water supply and remove kinks.
If kinks cannot be removed, replace tubing.
Change water filter (see page 21).
Allow approximately 12 hours for water in holding tank
to chill.
Discard first glass of water and refill.
This is normal when first using the dispenser and will
disappear with use.
Initial water ejected through cartridge may contain
harmless carbon dust flushed from cartridge.
Particles are safe for consumption. Will disappear
after the first few uses.
Particles are not harmful and naturally occur in water
supplies.
