The water should be connected only by a competent
plumber according to the local regulations of the
appropriate Water Supply company.
The appliance may only be connected to a cold water
pipe.
A separate 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 that is easily accessible.
When installing the water connection, pay attention to
the permissible installation area for the water line.
For connection to the drinking water line use only water
pipes that are suitable for drinking water. Observe
national regulations and the connection conditions of
the local Water Supply companies.
The taste and smell of the water can be improved by
installing the filter cartridge supplied. If doing so, take
note of the different connection specifications (see
section “Water filter”).
Note:
After the appliance has been switched on, water can
drip from the water dispenser. After approx. 24 hours,
when the appliance has reached its operating
temperature, the dripping stops.
Electrical connection
The outlet for the appliance must be located close the
appliance and must be easy to access also after
installation.
Connect the appliance to a properly installed
115 V/60 Hz AC outlet. The fuse for the outlet must be
rated either 15 A or 20 A.
If the appliance is to be used in a country other than the
U.S., check the rating plate to determine if the specified
voltage and current type correspond to the ratings of
your power supply. If the voltage and current type do
not match, the appliance must not be operated. The
power cord may only be replaced by a qualified
electrician.
: WARNING
Risk of electric shock and fire if electrical
connection is not installed properly!
Plug into a fixed, grounded 3-prong outlet only. The
outlet must be installed and grounded according to
code by a qualified electrician. If necessary, have
the installation inspected by a qualified technician
to ensure it is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord or power strip.
Never connect the appliance to an electronic energy
saver plug (such as Ecoboy, Sava Plug, etc.) or to
power inverters which convert direct current (DC) to
alternating current (AC) (such as for solar
equipment, power supplies on ships, etc.).
