Even though Jenn-Air
®
Built-In Refrigerators are available in
a wide range of design styles and configurations, the basic
installation planning information for all models have things in
common. After the decision has been made to install a Jenn-Air
®
Built-In Refrigerator, be sure to review the installation require-
ments for the model design chosen.
Make sure the opening where the unit will be installed is
properly prepared. Refer to Figure 1. Also check placement
for electrical outlet and water line as shown in Figure 1.
For the door to open properly, it must be able to open at least
90 degrees. For installation in a corner, a 2-inch filler strip is
required to ensure the 90-degree opening. Be sure to add the
filler strip width to your finished rough-in dimension.
The floor under the refrigerator has to be level with the surround-
ing floor. To protect the floor when moving the refrigerator, place
cardboard, or better yet, a carpet remnant with the backing
placed up, on the floor.
I N S TA L L AT I O N G U I D E – GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Electrical Connection.
This appliance is designed to operate on a normal 115 volt, 15
amp, 60 cycle line. There should be a separate, grounded cir-
cuit serving this appliance only. Do not use an extension cord.
Do not use any device that will alter the electrical performance
of this appliance. For the placement of the electrical outlet refer
to Fig. 1. Do not use a ground fault circuit interrupter.
Plumbing Requirements
•
Rough in the water line for the location (FIG. 1).
•
Connect a
1
⁄
4
-inch copper line to the house water supply in
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
•
Use a shut-off valve between the refrigerator and water
supply. The shut-off should be a drilled saddle valve. Do not
use a self-tapping valve.
•
The icemaker operates on 30 to 120 PSI.
•
Route the water line within
1
⁄
2-
inch of the wall and no higher
than 3” from the floor. Allow at least 3 foot of excess copper
tubing outside the wall for easy connection to the water valve.
Uncrating the Unit.
Uncrate the unit. Remove the lower shipping bolts and brackets.
Slide the unit off of the crate base. Remove and save the lower
toe kickplate, anti-tipping brackets and mounting hardware
(FIG. 2a). Remove the upper cover (this will help when moving
the unit) (FIG. 2b).
IMPORTANT TIP:
Refer to the illustrations at the end of this
section for details on door openings and filler size alternatives.
IMPORTANT TIP:
In homes with a Reverse Osmosis
water treatment system, remove the water inlet connector
from the “yellow” valve and attach to the “blue” valve.
Make sure the water filter bypass plug is in place.
