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 connected to the household water supply line.
