INSTALLATION

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 car- tridge 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.
