Electrical Requirements

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator,
allow for a 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side and
at the top. Allow 1" (2.5 cm) of space behind the
refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker,
allow extra space at the back for the water line
connections. When installing your refrigerator next
to a fixed wall, leave a 2-3/4" (7.0 cm) minimum
space between the refrigerator and wall to allow
the door to swing open.

be between 35 and 120 psi (241 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.
