|
|
|
| |
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection. |

|
| 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. |
