WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
IMPORTANT
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water
filter, and a water valve. 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.
