The area to the left and the right of the appliance must permit both
doors to open to a minimum of 90°. Allow a minimum of
2 1/2” (64 mm) space between the side of the refrigerator doors

Cabinet Layout
◊
A grounded three prong non-GFCI electrical outlet must
be provided and should be in a location that allows the
refrigerator to be connected without an extension cord. See
“Electrical Requirements” for additional information.
◊
The plumbing for the water line can come through the floor
flush to or from the back wall. Install the water valve in a
location that allows it to be turned off without moving the
refrigerator out in the event the refrigerator or water line
requires service.

equirements
◊
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
◊
Use 1/4” (6 mm) copper line to connect the refrigerator to the
house cold fresh water supply.
◊
Install a shut off valve between the refrigerator and water
supply. The shut off valve should be a drilled saddle valve.
See the diagram above for recommended location.
◊
Do not use a piecing type or 3/16” (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which will reduce water flow and clog more easily.
◊
Allow a minimum of 24” (610 mm) diameter service loop of
copper tubing outside the wall or floor for easy connection to
the water supply.
Cold water supply
Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with water pressure
between 35 and 120 psi. If you have any questions about your
water pressure, call your utility company.
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 35 and 120 psi (241 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.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
