WATER FILTER
INITIAL FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION
The water filter mounts in the machine compartment above the
refrigerator.
Your refrigerator was delivered from the factory with a filter bypass
in place. If the filter was not installed for you when the refrigerator
was installed, the filter cartridge can be found packaged inside
of the refrigerator. It can be easily installed without using any
additional parts, screws or fasteners.
If the home is equipped with a Reverse Osmosis water treatment
system, this additional water filter is not necessary. The filter
bypass should remain installed.
IMPORTANT: In order for the water filter monitor system to be set,
power to the unit must be ON when a new filter is installed.
1. Raise the machine compartment cover. Install hinge stop. (For
overlay models only.)
2. Twist the filter bypass cap 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to
disengage. Remove the filter bypass from the filter head
apparatus.
Notes:
• The filter bypass or water filter must be in place or no water or
ice will be dispensed.
• DO NOT dispose of the filter bypass. It should be stored for
future use, in the event that you choose to use the water and
ice dispenser without a filter.
