Ventilation
The Refrigerator unit is ventilated only at the Toe-Kick in the base. Never cover that area or place
anything in front of it. Otherwise the refrigeration cooling performance will be affected and the unit must
work harder increasing power consumption.
Additionally, make certain all 4 leveling legs are extended (unit height approximately 34 ¾”), so that
there is sufficient airflow underneath the appliance.
Connecting the appliance
Connect to water supply
All legs are adjustable by up to ½ inch.
IMPORTANT:
- If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
- 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.
Water Pressure
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 you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Connect to Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a ½" to 1¹₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.
- Make sure it is a cold water
pipe.
- Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help
keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower left
rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹₄ (6.35 mm)
O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
