Jenn-Air JFC2290VEP0 User Instructions

4If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to yourcold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosissystem 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 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, it may further reduce thewater pressure when used in conjunction with a reverseosmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water FiltrationSystem.”If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,qualified plumber.Connect the Water SupplyRead all directions before you begin.IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line isconnected, turn the ice maker OFF.Connect to Water Line1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet longenough to clear line of water.3. Find a ¹⁄₂" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold waterpipe near the refrigerator.IMPORTANT:■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.■ Horizontal pipe will work, but the following proceduremust be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not thebottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. Thisalso keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measurefrom the connection on the rear of the refrigerator to the waterpipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends ofcopper tubing are cut square.5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe youhave selected.6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipeclamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" drilled hole inthe water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowlyand evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do notovertighten or you may crush the copper tubing.7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on thecopper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into theoutlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nutonto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turnON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear.Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.Connect to Refrigerator1. Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2 ft [61 cm]) withthe copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the coppertubing.2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place acompression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing.3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve inletport. Shape tubing slightly so that the tubing feeds straightinto the port to avoid kinks.4. Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and screw into thewater valve inlet port.5. Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic waterline to keep it from moving. Then, with a second wrench turnthe compression nut on the copper tubing counterclockwiseto completely tighten. Do not overtighten.6. Check connection by pulling on copper tubing. Attach coppertubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp. Turn on watersupply to refrigerator and check for leaks. Correct any leaks.Complete the Installation1.
