Water Supply Requirements
■
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■
The water supply line must come up through the floor in the
gray shaded area shown.
■
The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. The right-hand side is recommended.
NOTE: There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush
installation if a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind
the refrigerator.
■
A
¹⁄₂
" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6"
(15.2 cm) from the right or left hand side cabinet or panel. On
the floor, the hole should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away
from the back wall. See “Connect the Water Supply.”
■
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 clogs more easily.
NOTE: Your 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 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.
■
