Skip this step when not using RO System.
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse
Osmosis Water System, use the refrigerator’s filter
bypass plug.
You must also use the filter bypass plug when
a replacement filter cartridge is not available.
The icemaker will not operate without the filter
or filter bypass plug.
Replacement Filters:

the refrigerator connection at the back
of the refrigerator, as far as possible.
