8Water Supply RequirementsIMPORTANT:■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.■ There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation ifa water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind therefrigerator.■ The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet oneither side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessiblearea. The water supply line, however, must come up throughthe floor in the gray shaded area shown.■ A ½" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled on thefloor at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the right or left hand sidecabinet and should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away fromthe back wall. See “Connect the Water Supply.”■ The water supply connection is made at the front of therefrigerator.■ 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 also 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 coppertubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valvecomplies with your local 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 of areverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of therefrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and827 kPa).If 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 cartridge.If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,qualified plumber.Product DimensionsIMPORTANT:■ The depth from the front face of the doors to the back of therefrigerator cabinet is 24" (60.96 cm) without panels.■ The power cord is 84" (213 cm) long.■ The water supply connection is made at the bottom front ofthe refrigerator.Top View1"(2.54 cm) 6"(15.2 cm)6"(15.2 cm)6"(15.2 cm)Model A42 41³⁄₄" (106 cm)48 47³⁄₄" (121.3 cm)A24"(61.0 cm)
