Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

 

 

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) nut

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" (11.11 mm) and ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm)

 

driver

 

 

open-end or two adjustable

■

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) drill bit

wrenches

■

Cordless drill

 

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. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

IMPORTANT:

■All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

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. See “Water Filtration System.”

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Base Grille

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of 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).

Remove the Base Grille:

1.Open both doors.

2.Place hands along the ends of the grille. Push in on the top of the base grille and pull up on the bottom.

NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille after cleaning.

Replace the Base Grille:

1.Open both doors.

2.Line up the grille support tabs with the metal clips.

3.Push the grille firmly to snap it into place.
