Always connect the water before the power.

Apart from statutory national regulations, you should comply with all applicable local electricity and water companies codes and requirements.

After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour before switching the appliance On. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.

Before switching the appliance On for the first time, clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter “Cleaning the Appliance”).

Water Connection

,CAUTION:

Connect the appliance to a drinking water line only:

▯Minimum pressure: 0.2 Mpa (2 bar)

▯Maximum pressure: 0.8 Mpa (8 bar)

▯Pressure over 0.8 MPa (8 bar): install a pressure

limiter between drinking water connection and hose set:

The water may be connected only by a competent fitter according to the local regulations of the appropriate Water Supply company.

A cold water connection is necessary for operating the automatic Ice Maker. The water pressure must be between 29 and 116 p.s.i. (2.0 and 8.0 bar). The installation must correspond to the local plumbing regulations.

Install a separate shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.

The Shut-Off-Valve should not be located behind the appliance. It is recommended that you mount the Shut-Off-Valve directly next to the appliance or at another place that is easily accessible.

When installing the water connection, observe the permitted installation areas for the water line.

For connection to the drinking water mains use only water pipes which are suitable for drinking water. Observe national regulations and the connection conditions of the local Water Supply companies.

,WARNING:

Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saving devices.

Our appliances can be used with power line and sine- controlled inverters. Power line-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic systems which

are connected directly to the national grid. Sine- controlled inverters must be used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to the national grid.
