WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT:
All installations must meet local plumbing code
requirements.
Connect to potable water supply only.
There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush
installation if a water shutoff valve is located in the
wall behind the refrigerator.
The water shutoff should be located in the base
cabinet on either side of the refrigerator or some
other easily accessible area. The water supply line,
however, must come up through the floor in the gray
shaded area shown.
A 1/2" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled
on the floor at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the right- or left-
hand side cabinet and should be no more than
1" (2.54 cm) away from the back wall. See “Connect
the Water Supply.”
The water supply connection is made at the front of
the refrigerator.
If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and
check for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas
where the household temperatures will remain above
freezing.
Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle
valve which reduces water flow and also clogs more
easily.
NOTE:
JennAir

refrigerator dealer has a kit available
with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a
union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make
sure that a saddle-type valve complies with your local
plumbing codes.
WATER PRESSURE
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your
water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER SUPPLY
IMPORTANT:
The pressure of the water supply coming
out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet
valve of the refrigerator needs to be between
30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected
to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the
reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less
than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if
necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system
to refill after heavy usage.
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further
reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction
with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water
filter cartridge.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS
IMPORTANT:
The depth from the front face of the doors to the
back of the refrigerator cabinet is 24" (60.96 cm)
without panels.
The power cord is 84" (213 cm) long.
The water supply connection is made at the bottom
front of the refrigerator.
