to Prime the Water Supply System" for important
information about priming an empty water supply
system.

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.
