assembly to the water tube located in the compartment. Ensure the water tube is firmly connected and will not easily become unattached. Water tube should be inserted to the tubing mark.

Ŷ Water will fill the pitcher until it reaches a specified

level and will then shut off. It is normal for the water level to be below the top of the pitcher.

NOTE: After installing the AutoFill pitcher, run 2 gallons of water (approximately 5 full pitchers) through the AutoFill dispenser to remove air from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt and dribble until the air is out of the system. It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal after the first minutes of dispensing. Wash the AutoFill pitcher and lid following the initial flush before using.

NOTE: Do not place the pitcher in the dispenser guide before the water connection is made to the refrigerator.
