Water Supply Requirements

■ 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

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is

important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

to the desired setting.

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.
