I. Installation Instructions
A. DETERMINE THE APPLIANCE LOCATIONS
The appliance can be located under a sink or in a basement depending on space availability and the customer's pref- erence. If a basement installation is selected, additional tub- ing, hardware and fittings may be needed and a hole will have to be made from inside the cabinet, through the floor, to the basement. Never install it in an area of the home where the temperature may drop to freezing, because damage to the appliance may occur.
The exact placement of the various components of the appliance will vary from installation to installation. The installer, in conjunction with the customer, must decide on where to place the faucet, tank and purification assembly by balancing the homeowner's convenience with ease of installation and servicing. (See Fig. 1 & 7)
Considerations for an icemaker or other remote hookup should be predetermined, including routing and any additional tools, fittings, and tubing that may be required.
B. PREPARE THE AREA FOR INSTALLATION
Remove supplies from under the sink and stack them neatly away from the working area. Arrange a light for the work area, if necessary.
If a basement installation is called for, determine where the components will be located and how they will be mounted. Special mounting brackets and hardware may be necessary to secure the appliance to a wall or ceiling joists.
Inspect the cold water supply line and determine if any special fittings, in addition to what is included in the kit, are required.
NOTE: It is a good idea at this time to check the condition of the undercounter plumbing for any existing or potential leaks. Make sure to perform any necessary repairs prior to the installation of the drinking water device.
