Reverse Osmosis Water Supply:

■ Reverse osmosis water filtration systems can be used only with ice maker installations that have a gravity drain. A reverse osmosis system is not recommended for ice makers that have a drain pump installed.

■ The pressure of the water coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice maker 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 to 60 psi (207 and

827 kPa).

NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. 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.

Option 1 - Without Hinge-Side Spacer

To allow proper clearance for the door, prepare the custom overlay panel using the dimensions shown.

CUSTOM PANEL DIMENSIONS

If you plan to install a custom overlay panel, you will need to make the panel yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter.

IMPORTANT:

■The thickness of the overlay panel must be 3⁄4" (1.91 cm).

■Overlay panel must not weigh more than 8 lbs (3.62 kg).

■Overlay panels weighing more than recommended may cause damage to your ice maker.

■Match wood grain direction with that of adjacent cabinets.

■Sand panel edges to provide a smooth finish.

■Use moisture sealer on both sides and all edges of the panel to avoid damage from moisture.
