Water Supply Requirements - Jenn-Air JUIFX15HX Installation Manual

SITE PREPARATION

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Before connecting the ice maker, ensure that
the water supply lines are insulated against
freezing conditions. Ice formations in the
supply lines can increase water pressure and
damage the ice maker or home. Damage
from frozen supply lines is not covered by the
warranty.
Use new hoses supplied with the product. Do
not reuse old hoses.
Water Supply Requirements
Water Pressure 30-120 psi (207-827 kPa)
Excess Water Line
for Connection
1/4" (6.35 mm) OD soft
Water Inlet Supply
Drain Pump With shut-off valve
10 | SITE PREPARATION
IMPORTANT:
Connect to potable water supply only.
■
A reverse osmosis water filtration system is
■
not recommended for ice makers that have
a drain pump installed. Reverse osmosis
water filtration systems should be used for
gravity drain systems only.
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain
■
in accordance with the International
Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinance.
To achieve a flush installation, the water
■
shutoff valve should not be installed in the
30" (76.2 cm)
wall behind the refrigerator, but in another
easily accessible location.
The drain pump discharge line must
■
copper tubing
terminate at an open-site drain.
Maximum rise 10 ft (3.1 m)
■
Maximum run 100 ft (30.5 m)
■
NOTE: If the drain hose becomes twisted and
water cannot drain, your ice maker will not
work.
REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER SUPPLY
A reverse osmosis system may be used if the
water pressure from the filtration system meets
the required water pressure requirements.
If a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a
whole-house capacity reverse osmosis system,
capable of maintaining the steady water supply
required by the ice maker, is recommended.
Faucet capacity reverse osmosis systems are
not able to maintain the steady water supply
required by the ice maker.
