Water Filtration System Location Requirements (on some models) For best results, do not install the water filtration system outside or in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature of water supply to the water filtration system must be between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C). Do not install on hot water supply line. Locate the water filtration system near the cold water supply pipe under the kitchen sink to filter cold water. Make sure that the water filter assembly is installed in the upright position. It will be necessary to drill a ½" (1.3 cm) minimum diameter hole in the upper-right or left rear corner of the side wall of the cabinet under the sink to route the water supply tubing through to the range. Depending on your installation configuration, more routing holes may be required. Coil enough flexible codes-approved water supply tubing behind the range to allow for the connection to the range to be made behind the range prior to setting the range in place. Typical Installation Configuration NOTE: For unique installations, contact a licensed plumber. In Massachusetts, a licensed plumber is required and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248-CMR will be adhered to. Water Supply Requirements A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the steam feature. In Massachusetts, plumbing code 248 CMR 3.00 and 10.00 must be followed, and a licensed plumber will be used. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. 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 range needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 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 psi (276 kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi (276 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 you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. Cold water supply Hot Cold Filter assembly location 8

(on some models)
For best results, do not install the water filtration system
outside or in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature
of water supply to the water filtration system must be between
40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C). Do not install on hot water supply
line.
Locate the water filtration system near the cold water supply
pipe under the kitchen sink to filter cold water.
Make sure that the water filter assembly is installed in the

Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the steam
feature. In Massachusetts, plumbing code 248 CMR 3.00 and
10.00 must be followed, and a licensed plumber will be used. If
you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
I
MPORTANT:
The pressure of the water supply coming out of
a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
range needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 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 psi (276 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 psi (276 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 you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
