IMPORTANT
After connecting the water supply, refer to
“How to Prime the Water Supply System”
for important information about priming an
empty water supply system.
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water filter,
a water valve, and a water tank. To ensure
that your water dispenser works properly,
this system must be completely filled with
water when your refrigerator is first con
-
nected to the household water supply line.
