5Installation RequirementsIf the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverseosmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refillafter heavy usage.If your refrigerator has a water filter cartridge, it may furtherreduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with areverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,qualified plumber.Tipping RadiusBe sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigeratorupright when it is moved into place.The dolly wheel height must be added to the tipping radiuswhen a dolly is used.If needed, the tipping radius can be reduced. See ReduceTipping Radius.Side Tipping RadiusThe side tipping radius varies depending upon the width of themodel.NOTE: Tip on side only.Water Supply RequirementsAll installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet oneither side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessiblearea. The right-hand side is recommended. The access holethrough the cabinet must be within ½” (12.7 mm) of the rearwall.NOTE: If the water shut off valve is in the back wall behind therefrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the tube is not kinkedwhen the refrigerator is pushed into its final position.If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbingfor the water line can come through the floor. A ½” (12.7 mm)hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6” (15.2 cm) fromthe right or left hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, thehole should be no more than 1” (2.54 cm) away from the backwall. See Connect the Water Supply.If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and checkfor leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where thehousehold temperatures will remain above freezing.Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄ 16 ” (4.76 mm) saddle valvewhich reduces water flow and clogs more easily.NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¼” (6.35mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union and copper tubing. Beforepurchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with yourlocal plumbing codes.Water PressureA cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser andice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call alicensed, qualified plumber.Reverse Osmosis Water SupplyIMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out ofa reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of therefrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827kPa). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connectedto your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverseosmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to414 kPa).Possible waterline locationsAccess hole within 1/2”(12.7 mm) of floor and rear wall1"(2.54 cm) 6"(15.2 cm)6"(15.2 cm)A.
