Water Supply Requirements

IMPORTANT:
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■
Connect to potable water supply only
■
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
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.
6"
(15.2 cm)
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: 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.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow
of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes
could be hollow or irregular shaped. 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.
