Dacor EF36BNNFSS Installation Instructions - Page 5

Installation Specifications Cabinet Layout • Locate the refrigerator so that it may easily be pulled out from the wall if service becomes necessary. • A grounded three prong non-GFCI electrical outlet must be provided and should be in a location that allows the refrigerator to be connected without an extension cord. See Electrical Requirements for additional information. • The plumbing for the water line can come through the floor flush to or from the back wall. Install the water valve in a location that allows it to be turned off without moving the refrigerator out in the event the refrigerator or water line requires service. • For IF36 series models, see document 100504 for instructions on planning and installing integrated front panels. It is available at www.Dacor.com. 36" min. (91.4 cm) 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 35 and 120 p.s.i. (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 p.s.i. (276 to 414 kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 p.s.i. (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. See the use and care manual. Electrical Requirements 70 1/2" min.* (179.1 cm) WARNING Suggested electrical location approximate dimensions 24" (61.0 cm) 12" (30.5 cm) 12" (30.5 cm) Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. *Add 1 3/4" (4.4 cm) for the optional top gril kit (AFG36). Water Supply Requirements • All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements. • A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 p.s.i. (241 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. • Install a shut off valve between the refrigerator and water supply. Use 1/4" copper tubing with a compression nut and compression sleeve and check for leaks. Allow a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) diameter service loop of copper tubing outside the wall or floor for easy connection to the water supply. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing. • Do not use a piecing type or 3/16" (5 mm) saddle valve which will reduce water flow and clog more easily. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. A 115 Volt, 60 Hz. AC only 15 or 20 Amp. fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord. 3
