Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 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 - 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 - 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 - 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 cartridge, 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.
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not completely installed.
Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is completely installed.
Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
Failure do so can result in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT:
■Do not remove the protective film until the refrigerator is in its operating position.
■All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.
■Keep the cardboard shipping piece or plywood under the refrigerator until it is installed in the operating position.
1.Remove and save the literature package and parts bag taped to the refrigerator door. Remove the four brackets (two on each side) that attach the shipping base to the refrigerator bottom.
NOTE: Do not remove tape and door bracing until the refrigerator is in its final position.
2.If necessary, reduce the tipping radius. See “Tipping Radius” for ceiling height requirements or “Reduce Tipping Radius” for
Reduce TippingRadius
(if required)
Before bringing the refrigerator into the home, be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright. See “Tipping Radius” in the “Design Specifications” section for more information.
If you do not have adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright, the tipping radius can be reduced by removing the top grille and side trims (see the following chart).
