Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
The electrical supply must be located within the shaded 
area shown in the illustration and chart below. A separate 
circuit servicing only this appliance is required. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: For indoor models, a ground fault cir-
cuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and may cause 
interruption of operation. 
For the outdoor model, a ground fault circuit interrupter 
(GFCI) is required to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
The electrical outlet must be positioned with the ground-
ing prong to the right of the thinner blades.

Plumbing Requirements
Installation must comply with all applicable plumbing codes.
Locate the water supply line within the shaded area shown 
in the illustration below. Connect the water supply line to 
the house supply with an easily accessible shut-o valve. 
Do not use self-piercing valves. The water supply line must 
not interfere with the installation of the anti-tip bracket.
Column and tall models with an ice maker or water dis-
penser feature a water filtration system. An in-line filter is 
required for drawer models with an ice maker when water 
conditions have a high sediment content.
A reverse osmosis system can be used provided there is 
constant water pressure of 35–120 psi 
(2.4–8.3 bar) supplied 
to the unit at all times. A copper line is not recommended 
for this application.
