CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

NOTE
Expect the first ice harvest within first
24 hours of unit operation. To prevent any is-
sues concerning ice production, please ensure
that all water lines are primed. See "Priming
the water supply system" in the "AUTOMATIC
ICE & WATER DISPENSER" section.
IMPORTANT
The refrigerator's water supply system includes
several tubing lines, a water filter, and a water
valve. To ensure that the water dispenser
works properly, this system must be complete-
ly filled with water when the refrigerator is first
connected to the household water supply line.
