KSTAR is a national superconducting tokamak with the aim of a high beta operation based on AT scenarios, and ICRF heating is one of the essential tools to achieve this goal. After 12 years R and D works, ICRF system including the 2 MW transmitter and antenna was installed in 2007 and it was used for KSTAR first plasma events in 2008. In this paper, the installation processes of the ICRF system with an emphasis on the quality assurance procedures of KSTAR, as well as the results from the first RF discharge experiments for a discharge cleaning and FWEH experiments are outlined and future plan is shown.
