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.

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.
