Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure
between 138 kPa and 827 kPa (1.4-8.4 kgf/cm²)
is requried to operate the water dispenser. If the
refrigerator is installed in an area with low water
pressure (below 138 kPa), you can install a
booster pump to compensate for the low
pressure.
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 138 kPa to 827 kPa
(1.4-8.4 kgf/cm²)
WARNING
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
work on connecting the water line. Failure to
do so may cause electric shock.
• Only connect the water line to a cold water
supply. Failure to do so may cause the water
filter to malfuction. Water hammer (water
banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can
cause damage to appliance parts and can
lead to water leakage or flooding.
• Connecting the water line must only be
installed by a qualified plumber and in
accordance with local legislation and
regulations governing water quality.
NOTE
•
This water line installation is not covered by
the appliance warranty.
