WATER LINE REQUIREMENTS
A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your
new Kenmore Elite TM Side-By-Side Refrigerator. To help
promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted
particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or
destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a
water purifying system to do that.
In order for the icemaker to operate properly, a water
pressure of 20~125 psi (pounds per square inch) is
required.
Under normal conditions, a 170-cc (5.75-oz.) cup can be
filled in 10 seconds.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water
pressure (below 20 psi), you can install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
Make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is
properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever
until the water runs from the water outlet.
NOTE: Water line installation kits are available at extra
cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water
supply kit that contains copper tubing.
