KitchenAid KDRS483VSS Installation Guide

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 

1

/

2

" (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.

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.

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.
