A. DETERMINE THE APPLIANCE LOCATIONS
The appliance can be located under a sink or in a base-
ment depending on space availability and the customer's pref-
erence. If a basement installation is selected, additional tub-
ing, hardware and fittings may be needed and a hole will have
to be made from inside the cabinet, through the floor, to the
basement. Never install it in an area of the home where the
temperature may drop to freezing, because damage to the
appliance may occur.
The exact placement of the various components of the
appliance will vary from installation to installation. The
installer, in conjunction with the customer, must decide on
where to place the faucet, tank and purification assembly by
balancing the homeowner's convenience with ease of installa-
tion and servicing. (See Fig. 1 & 7)
Considerations for an icemaker or other remote hookup
should be predetermined, including routing and any additional
tools, fittings, and tubing that may be required.
B. PREPARE THE AREA FOR INSTALLATION
Remove supplies from under the sink and stack them
neatly away from the working area. Arrange a light for the work
area, if necessary.
If a basement installation is called for, determine where the
components will be located and how they will be mounted.
Special mounting brackets and hardware may be necessary to
secure the appliance to a wall or ceiling joists.
Inspect the cold water supply line and determine if any
special fittings, in addition to what is included in the kit, are
required.
NOTE:
It is a good idea at this time to check the condition of
the undercounter plumbing for any existing or potential leaks.
Make sure to perform any necessary repairs prior to the instal-
lation of the drinking water device.
