Can Ice Maker be Used without the Water Filter?

Using the Ice Maker without the Water Filter

You can run the ice maker without a water filter. Your water will not be filtered. Slide the filter cap off the end of the water filter. With the filter cap in the horizontal position, insert the cap into the base grille until it stops.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with a replacement filter.
