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

Water Pressure

• A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 psi (241 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 35 and 120 psi (241 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. See "Water Filtration System."
