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 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.

•In order for the water filter monitor system to be set, power to the unit must be ON when a new filter is installed.
