Water Supply Requirements

All installations must meet local plumbing code 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. The access hole through the cabinet must be within ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) of the rear wall.

NOTE: If the water shut off valve is in the back wall behind the refrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the tube is not kinked when the refrigerator is pushed into its final position.

If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing for the water line can come through the floor. A ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the right or left hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, the hole should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away from the back wall. See “Connect the Water Supply.”

If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

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.

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 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.

Tipping Radius

Be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright when it is moved into place.

The dolly wheel height must be added to the tipping radius when a dolly is used.

If needed, the tipping radius can be reduced. See “Reduce Tipping Radius.”

Side Tipping Radius

The side tipping radius varies depending upon the width of the model. Use the chart provided to determine the side tipping radius.

NOTE: Tip on side only.
