stream and does not sputter (See Art01791).
NOTE: This may take a minute for the built-in reservoir to fill for the first time and to
eliminate the air from the system. You should discard and not use the first
several glasses of water from the dispenser. New plumbing connections

ing can cause the first glasses of water to be discolored or have an odd
flavor.

Continued operation:
1. Allow the water in the dispenser to cool before using the dispenser.

water reservoir which is located at the rear of the fresh food compartment.

the refrigerator can not circulate around the water reservoir, the water
in the dispenser will not cool correctly. Do not set hot food against the
front of the water reservoir.
