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.

Water connection

ãCAUTION

Connect the appliance to a drinking water line.

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 25 and 120 p.s.i. (1,72 and 8,25 bar).

The installation must correspond to the local plumbing regulations.

Aseparate shut-off valve should be installed in the cold- water inflow. 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 which is easily accessible. When installing the water connection, pay attention to the permissible installation area for the water mains.

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.

When installing the water connection, observe the permitted installation areas for the pipe. For the permitted installation areas and dimensions see “Dimensions of the installation niche”.

The maximum outside diameter of the water mains (without connecting pieces) is 3/8" (9.5 mm).
