Water Supply Requirements - Jenn-Air Euro-Style JS42SSDUDE Mode D'emploi

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT:
All installations must meet local plumbing code
requirements.
Connect to potable water supply only.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
The water shutoff should be located in the base
cabinet on either side of the refrigerator or some
other easily accessible area. The water supply line,
however, must come up through the floor in the gray
shaded area shown.
NOTE: If the water shutoff valve is in the back wall
behind the refrigerator, it must be at an angle so that
the tube is not kinked when the refrigerator is
pushed into its final location.
6"
(15.2 cm)
24"
(60.96 cm) min.
If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the
plumbing for the water line can come through the
floor. A 1/2" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be
drilled at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the right-hand or
left-hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, the hole
should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away from the
back wall. See "Connect the Water Supply."
If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and
check for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas
where the household temperatures will remain above
freezing.
Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle
valve which 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 copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a
saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing
codes.
WATER PRESSURE
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and
120 psi (207 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.

(2.54 cm)
(15.2 cm)
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required,
the flow of water from the water dispenser could
decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.
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
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 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 cartridge.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
